clock date comparison

[johnlopez2000]

I am attempting to start at one date and iterate to some final date, incrementing by one day per iteration. My code:

set xProcessingDate [clock format [expr [clock scan seconds]] -format %D]

set xStartDate [clock format [expr [clock scan 11/8/03]] -format %D]

while {$xStartDate <= $xProcessingDate} {
....
}

it would appear that it is incorrectly resolving the date.
.
.
.
I answered my own question, but decided to post for posterity:


% set xProcessDate [clock scan seconds]
1076964597
% set xStartDate [clock scan 11/8/03]
1068267600
% if {$xStartDate < $xProcessDate} { puts HI } { puts BYE }
HI
% set xStartDate [expr [clock scan seconds] + 86400]
1077051097
% if {$xStartDate < $xProcessDate} { puts HI } { puts BYE }
BYE

have a good one!

Other possibilities with clock scan:

  puts [clock scan 2004-02-15]
  puts [clock scan now]
  puts [clock scan tomorrow -base [clock seconds]]
