Hello,<div><br></div><div>I am trying to use N. Mitchell&#39;s CmdArgs and I would like one of the fields to store the current time. A minimal example below:</div><div><br></div><div><div><br></div><div>{-# LANGUAGE DeriveDataTypeable #-}</div>

<div><br></div><div>import System.Console.CmdArgs</div><div>import System.Time</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>data FuzzyTimeConf = FuzzyTimeConf { time :: String } deriving (Show, Data, Typeable)</div><div><br></div>

<div>ftConf = FuzzyTimeConf { time = confDefaultTime }</div><div><br></div><div>confDefaultTime = &quot;it is here that I would like to get the current time&quot;</div><div><br></div><div>main :: IO ()</div><div>main = do</div>

<div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre">	</span>print =&lt;&lt; cmdArgs ftConf</div></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>I want confDefaultTime to store the current time as HH:MM, so I guess I will also need to extract it in some way.</div>

<div><br></div><div>I&#39;ve tried many different versions and can&#39;t come up with anything working. confDefaultTime can&#39;t be an IO String because than it can&#39;t derive Show and Data which is required for cmdArgs to work in FuzzyTimeConf. However, I don&#39;t seem to be able to find a way to make it a String and hold the actual current time.</div>

<div><br></div><div>Can you help me, please?</div>
