exec date usage in expect Posted by skumar003 (skumar003), 20 February 2003 I am using the following to log results of a test.log_file -a -noappend [exec date]_results.log. The [exec date] option lists the logfile which look something like this. Thu Feb 20 17:29:09 2003_results.log. Is there a way to make the whole thing print as one without any spaces( like an underscore between words ) Like : Thu_Feb_20_17_29_09_results.log Posted by admin (Graham Ellis), 21 February 2003 Try:regsub -all " " [exec date] _ temp log_file -a -noappend ${temp}_results.log. Explanation: Perform the date command on your computer and replace all matches of a white space with _ characters, storing the result in a variable "temp". Then do your log_file with the temp variable. The extra curly braces tell tcl where the variable name ends and the constant text begins, as _ would normally be part of a variable name. Looking slightly wider, I would suggest that you generate your timestamp using clock format, since that won't start an extra process and it will also be portable if you move your application to a system with a different date command.
