hey, can anyone tell me what the correct command is for having just the time and not the date so it can be added to a string???

any and all help is appreciated.

thanks in advance

Either use tcl's native clock command or the less verbose 'strftime' (provided by eggdrop, so check tcl-commands.doc for details)

i have checked the tcl-commands.doc before i posted.. and it's not very specific about it..... it talks about setting the formats but the few examples it gives they include dates and thats not what i want.. (unless i'm understanding right?)

a formatted string of time using standard strftime format.

Try 'man strftime'

so i can use the strftime command as is right? meaning i don't have to input a string?? if so thats way cool!
