clock scan problem

[Jennifer Shepard]

Hi Charlie (or whomever can help),

Thanks for the code, but I’m getting this problem  😯 :

set dt 20060831120000

regsub — {(d{8})(d+)} $dt {1 2} dt

tcl>echo [clock format [clock scan $dt -format “%m/%d/%Y, %H%M Hours”]

Error: bad switch “-format”: must be -base or -gmt

Any ideas why I’m getting this error and you did not?

Thanks

Hi Jennifer,

You are missing a close square bracket ].

Nope, I tried that:

set dt [clock format [clock scan $dt -format “%m/%d/%Y, %H%M Hours”]]

Error: bad switch “-format”: must be -base or -gmt

THanks!

Try it this way

set dt [clock format [clock scan $dt] -format “%m/%d/%Y, %H%M Hours”]

So I guess at 10pm last night I missed it by one command! I left out the

‘format’ thinking ‘-format- took care of that. I had: set dt [clock [clock scan $dt] -format “%m/%d/%Y, %H%M Hours”].

Thanks so much!
