Re: %W in the clock command

Greetings,

I'm using tcl8.5a4 on windows XP

In http://www.tcl.tk/man/tcl8.5/TclCmd/clock.htm#M69 %W is still part
of the "clock" command but doesn't seem to work!


(bin) 7 % clock format [clock seconds] -format %W
can't read "Wweeknumber": no such variable

Has %W been taken out in favor of something else?

/sd


If %W were no more supported, this would have returned "%W" as output, without raising an error. As error message suggests, this is actually a bug in Tcl 8.5a4 (but a4 means it's alpha after all ;) )

There was a typo in clock.tcl ($Wweeknumber instead of $WweekNumber). This has been fixed in cvs on July 30 2006 (rev 1.31 of clock.tcl), while 8.4a4 has been released in April 2006. 8.5a5 has it fixed.
