bind time

[Esoteric]

Can you make it so that with bind time that it executes every monday or tuesday or well you get the point.

No but you can bind to a specific time like 2am every day, then at the top of your proc put:

set day [lindex [split [clock format [clock seconds]]] 0]
if {$day != "Sun"} return

$day will be Sun, Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu, Fri, Sat so you can easily check to see if it's not the right day.

perfect thanks

set day [lindex [split [clock format [clock seconds]]] 0]
if {$day != "Sun"} return

if { [clock format [unixtime] -format %a] != "Sun" } { return }

sounds much shorter, easier and faster to me ^-^.

strftime to the rescue

Code: Select all

if ![string match [strftime %a] "Sun"] return

Two things... first he said "monday or tuesday" so maybe he wants to expand it to be if {$day != "Mon" && $day != "Tue"} return, which I think is easier when you provide him with a nice little variable called $day. Second... shorter and faster... surely you're not trying to optimize a single line of code that takes less than 1/100000 of a second and only runs once a day!
