Created by [CecilWesterhof].
I created some procs to easily get some date/time formats.
The first is because I miss the %F format in clock.
======
# Clock format which recognises %F
proc clockFrmt {time format} { clock format ${time} -format [string map {%F {%Y-%m-%d}} ${format}]
}
======
But I find it also handy as a shorter form for clock with format. ;-)

I want as default the current time. This is not really possible. That is why I use NOW as default and created a function to convert the NOW:
======
# When a proc has no value for thisTime convert it to current time.
proc convertDefaultTime {thisTime} { if {${thisTime} == NOW} {
return [clock seconds]
} return ${thisTime}
}
======
[Martyn Smith] For me I would use the default value NOW and not -1 it makes the code easier to read.
Done, thanks for the tip.
----
Then I created the following three procs.
======
proc getDateStr {{thisTime NOW}} { set thisTime [convertDefaultTime ${thisTime}]
clockFrmt ${thisTime} "%F"
}
proc getDateTimeStr {{thisTime NOW}} { set thisTime [convertDefaultTime ${thisTime}]
clockFrmt ${thisTime} "%FT%T"
}
proc getTimeStr {{thisTime NOW}} { set thisTime [convertDefaultTime ${thisTime}]
clockFrmt ${thisTime} "%T"
}
======
An example usage:
======
proc showMessage {message {onlyTime False} {display True}} { if {${display}} {
if {${onlyTime}} {
set moment [getTimeStr]
} else {
set moment [getDateTimeStr]
} puts [format "%s: %s" ${moment} ${message}]
}
}
======
