      Hello-

      I have a date in the format of 5/8/2008 10:09:00 AM in which I would like to convert to 200805081109 (YYYYMMDDTTTT); the TTTT would be in military time.  I have asked the vendor to correct the format, but I would like try to change it using Tcl in case they come back and say they can not change it.  Does anyone have some Tcl code they would be willing to share?  

      Thanks in advance,

      Gary

          Gary — you need the clock scan and clock format command.

          Get into Tcl and do an ‘help clock’.

            set dt “5/8/2008 10:09:00 AM”

            clock format [clock scan $dt] -format %Y%m%d%H%M%S

            ==> 20080508100900
