Here is the quick and dirty way I do it in tcl:
convert the properly formatted initial date to seconds
with 'clock scan'
convert the interval being added into seconds
add the two values, use 'clock format' to put that
value into a date format.
ex.
[
set initialDate '04/24/2001'
# i want 5 days added which is 432000 seconds
set interval 432000
set newDate [clock format [expr [clock scan
$initialDate] + $interval] -format "%m/%d/%Y"]
]
There are some other ways to do it with clock scan and
relative time -- check the tcl docs...
As you can see, this is in no way 'elegant' or even
'good', but has done the job for me. Hope it helps
somehow.
Yes, tcl is smart.
