awk for tcl?

[Naeem Afzal]

Is there any way you can convert unix command with awk command in it to
tcl
command. I want to use the following command in my tcl script.

You will for sure read the man page of Tcl's "clock" command. ;-)

set d [clock format [clock seconds] -format %m.%d.%y]

set d [exec date +DATE:%m.%d.%y | awk -F: {{print $2}}]

Note the lack of single quote characters, and the double curlies round
the `print $2'. Do not use this script as-is in a binding (but a proc
called by a binding is OK, and easier in the long run anyway)
