timestamp generation

[kennycheung21]

Hello everyone,

I'm wondering if there is any function i can use to generate a timestamp in tcl script?
And if there is any other function to generate a random number in a given range?

Please help and thank you!

Code: Select all

set random [expr { int(100 * rand()) }]

for the random number between 0-100

Code: Select all

set timestamp [clock seconds]

for the time-stamp..

you can then use the VARS $random $timestamp in yr script


hope this helps..

http://www.eggheads.org/support/egghtml ... mands.html
and check out:
strftime

This will be handy for reference too:
http://linux.about.com/library/cmd/blcmdl3_strftime.htm

You can get the date and/or time in just about any format you want, with strftime.

And if there is any other function to generate a random number in a given range?

Same place - tcl-commands.doc - and check out:
rand
