Calculate Date

[CoMMy]

Hi,

I need some coding info regarding the use of date.
Basically what i need is to get some variables of a date example:
set minutes 6
set 24hour 14
set day 10
set month 12
set year 2006

And then i want the script to calculate the remaining time from today untill that date in this format:
Years,Months,Days,Hours,Minutes

a 0 should be shown only where it is not applicable. Example 2006 to 2006 is 0 years.


Any ideas how to implement this? Maybe someone has a script ready for this ? I have found a Datestill.tcl but i cant make it work like i want :S


Thanks for help:)

Code: Select all

set duetime [clock scan "mm/dd/yy hh:mm:ss"]

set duration [duration [expr {$duetime - [unixtime]}]]

Read about clock scan.
