Getting the number of seconds since epoch from System.Time.ClockTime
Hello haskell-cafe, In System.Time, data ClockTime = TOD Integer Integer , where the first integer represents the number of seconds since epoch, and the other represents the number of picoseconds. Is there a way of retrieving the first part? (In Haskell 98, the ClockTime type is abstract). TIA Martin My music: http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=thetonegrove

Better to use the new time package, in particular Data.Time.Clock.POSIX: http://www.haskell.org/ghc/docs/latest/html/libraries/time/Data-Time-Clock-P... getPOSIXTime will do what you want. Cheers, Simon

I usually pattern match the constructor: do { TOD epoch _ <- getClockTime ; putStrLn $ "epoch is " ++ show epoch } -- Rich AIM : rnezzy ICQ : 174908475 Jabber: rich@neswold.homeunix.net
