Re: Re: Quickie Alarm Clock

Such flagrant prodigality and needless verbosity is begging for optimisation. 8^)

(localtime)[2] == 7 and print "\a" while sleep 1

(ps. the output from localtime doesn't have any ':'s? (in my version anyway))

(ps. the output from localtime doesn't have any ':'s? (in my version anyway)) Really? In list context, (my version is AS 5.6.1 build 633) I get: `perl -e "print localtime" 3481710810222521` [download] In scalar context, however, I get: `perl -e "print scalar localtime" Tue Sep 10 17:48:09 2002 ^ ^` [download] I'm guessing that you are in the UK (aren't I a bright boy ;) - my locale (US) won't make a difference here	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Well, you have could blown me down with a feather duster. So it does. How very sensible. My profound apologies to Juerd. Well It's better than the Abottoire, but Yorkshire!	[reply] [d/l]

(localtime)[2] == 7 and print "\a" while sleep 1 Did you have to look up the localtime index? I saved some time by not doing that. Besides, your version only beeps for an hour ;) - Yes, I reinvent wheels. - Spam: Visit eurotraQ.	[reply]
