Time comparison

[bebig]

I want to compare time.

for example,

A--> 02:35
B--> 02:45

if {A<B} {
puts "correct"
}

can it be possible to compare "Time"?

otherwise, I think..I need to compare seperately, hour & minute.

Would you please give me any comment?

Sure. Take a look at the clock command docs.

First create a full date adding today's date...
% set Date1 "[clock format [clock seconds] -format %m/%d/%Y] 02:35:00"
01/21/2005 02:35:00
% set Date2 "[clock format [clock seconds] -format %m/%d/%Y] 02:45:00"
01/21/2005 02:45:00
Then get the seconds values out of those dates
% set numDate1 [clock scan $Date1]
1106296500
% set numDate2 [clock scan $Date2]
1106297100
Then you can compare...
% if {$numDate2 > $numDate1} {puts yes}
yes
% if {$numDate1 > $numDate2} {puts yes}
%
