<br>
One way to do it would be to pass it in<br>
as an argument or other when you run ChucK.<br>
This example uses stdin to read the output<br>
of a <date> command in the shell:<br>
<br>
// TestDate.ck Perry R. Cook, Dec. 2014<br>
ConsoleInput stdin; // gonna read from here<br>
stdin.prompt("") => now; // wait until something comes in<br>
string datetime; // date and time<br>
string datetimenow; // plus time since chuck invoked tacked on<br>
while (stdin.more()) { stdin.getLine() => datetime; } // read input<br>
datetime.setCharAt(9,'-'); // replace time string colons<br>
datetime.setCharAt(12,'-'); // with dashes instead<br>
datetime+"-"+Std.ftoa(now/second,4) => datetimenow; // tack on time since chuck invoked<br>
<<< datetimenow >>>;<br>
// If you want to continue making updated unique<br>
// strings, just keep redoing the datetimenow line<br>
1.5*second => now;<br>
datetime+"-"+Std.ftoa(now/second,4) => datetimenow; // tack on time since chuck invoked<br>
<<< datetimenow >>>;<br>
<br>
To use this:<br>
<br>
date +"%m%d%y-%T" | chuck TestDate.ck<br>
<br>
Outputs (date-H-M-S-now):<br>
<br>
"120614-15-00-09-0.0000" : (string)<br>
"120614-15-00-09-1.5000" : (string)<div><div><br>

I would like to figure out the source of latency from chuck interacting<br>
with another application via OSC. To do that, I want to print timestamps<br>
of messages sent and received and compare these.<br>
But here's the thing:<br>
<br>
How do I print the absolute current time in chuck? The variable `now`<br>
only seems to hold the time from the start of the process.<br>
