TCL(Tool Command Language) Scripting :: dates like clock scan


	dates like clock scan Clock scan takes in nice human readable dates and times, and converts them into UNIX. Is there an equivalent in reverse? e.g. % set a [clock scan "tomorrow"] 1178875675 % set b [clock_nice $a] tomorrow % set a [clock scan "next friday"] 1179442800 % set b [clock_nice $a] next friday On May 10, 5:28 am, "alex.@gmail.com" <alex.@gmail.com> wrote: > Clock scan takes in nice human readable dates and times, and converts > them into UNIX.

Time is in seconds, and [clock seconds] delivers the current tally. But with "conversational dates", stuff like "yesterday", "tomorrow", "last Friday" was meant. Should be a simple matter of programming :^)
