Question

Hi i want to set my future_date variable to show a date that would be 90 days from today.

set $future_date ""
#set $future_date to date in unixtime stamp 90 days from the current timestamp

Can i do that in tcl?

Answer 1

In Tcl, the clock seconds command returns the time now in term of seconds. To add 90 days to it, you have to multiply 90 by 60 (seconds in a minute), by 60 (minutes in an hour) and by 24 (hours in a day):

set today [clock seconds]
set future [expr {$today + 90 * 60 * 60 * 24}]
puts [clock format $today -format "Today is %B %m, %Y"]
puts [clock format $future -format "90 days from today is %B %m, %Y"]

Please look up the clock command for more information.
