Question

My following code fetches 2 dates

foreach records $get_times {
        lassign $records start_date stop_date
        puts [clock format [clock scan $start_date] \
            -format {%d %b}]
        puts [clock format [clock scan $stop_date] \
            -format {%d %b}]
}

Is there a way I can display all the dates between the start_tdate and stop_date.
Something like:

puts "<tr><td>the $start_date</td>the next Date</td><td>....</td><td>the $stop_date</td>"

You can use clock scan‘s ability to use “english” timeframes to get what you’re looking for. For example:

set start_ts [clock scan $start_date]
set end_ts [clock scan $stop_date]
for {set current $start_ts} {$current < $end_ts} {set current [clock scan "+1 day" -base $current} {
    puts [clock format $current -format {%d %b}]
}
