For 2023 (and 2024 ...) - we are now fully retired from IT training.
We have made many, many friends over 25 years of teaching about Python, Tcl, Perl, PHP, Lua, Java, C and C++ - and MySQL, Linux and Solaris/SunOS too. Our training notes are now very much out of date, but due to upward compatability most of our examples remain operational and even relevant ad you are welcome to make us if them "as seen" and at your own risk.

Lisa and I (Graham) now live in what was our training centre in Melksham - happy to meet with former delegates here - but do check ahead before coming round. We are far from inactive - rather, enjoying the times that we are retired but still healthy enough in mind and body to be active!

I am also active in many other area and still look after a lot of web sites - you can find an index ((here))
command for getting current time with milliseconds

Posted by shafa.fahad (FahaD), 10 October 2006
Hi,

I am using set val [clock format [clock seconds] -format "%A %B %d %H:%M:%S"] to retrieve current system date upto seconds.

The output for the above statement is "Tuesday October 10 02:59:09"

I would like to know if there is a similar way to retrieve upto milliseconds in the above format.

Thanks in advance

regards,
Fahad

Thanks Graham...

I noticed

[clock clicks -milliseconds] gives

897430080

[clock format [clock clicks -milliseconds]] gives

Sun Jun 14 19:03:38 IST 1998

But those are not the results i expect...

Please correct me if i am wrong in syntax....

Thanks in advance,
Fahad

clock seconds returns a whole number of seconds, usually based from 1.1.1970, and that's the input clock format requires.  

clock -clicks .... returns a number in different units and from a different base, so it is not an appropriate input to clock format. It's also system dependent in both the accuracy it returns and the base.  You need to look for more details in the manual for your version of Tcl.
