If the format is like that, should'nt it work?

Yes ( http://tcl.tk/man/tcl8.4/TclCmd/clock.htm#M45 )

Keep in mind that lrange returns a list, not a string..
Might want to join it into a string before trying to scan it.

Code: Select all

set then [clock scan [join [lrange [split $text] 3 end]]]

The timestamp you mentioned should work just fine with "clock scan":

Code: Select all

[11:31] > .tcl clock scan "Mar 07 21:22:37 2006 EST"
[11:31] < Tcl: 1141784557

The problem was coming because I was using lrange 3 end when 2 end was needed

Clock scan is picky about the format you give it, the manpage doesn't say it but the commas shown in the example formats are necessary. EG: day, dd monthname yy or monthname dd ?, yy?

There's a little more detail here:
