after#2
%
i also tryed this but it doesn't return anything.. i kept waiting .. but .. 1000 ms = 1 sec right hehe , but nothing happend..

You didn't enter the event loop (stdin is blocking in tclsh by default) You can force an update by invoking 'update' when testing stuff.

well i got a problem with after cause it freezes all events.. and clock i am asuming that u mean to match

Code:

clock format [clock seconds] -format {%S %M %H %d %m %Y}

i know how to match it only problem is that i need something that doesn't freeze .. my socket.. after will make the socket freeze ..

i got something .. that works but it freezes everything.. calling a proc again dies ..

calling back a proc gives me this .. even with after .. :/

ERROR --> too many nested calls to Tcl_EvalObj (infinite loop?)

could u maybe give me an example ?? simple script ..? might over looked something .. ive checked the manual several times can't find a good command to do so and i can't think of a proc that will do this utimer yes but thats nota avail in shell ://

use clock and after to make your own timed proc
