tcl timer command

[Guest_imported]

I am looking for a tcl timer command that would wake up after a pre determined time ( seconds etc ) and run another tcl command.

The answer is "after".
syntax: after ms cmd
example:
Try this:
set x 12
after 15000 [incr x]
while {$x < 13} {
puts $x
}

Well, I know about the &quot;after&quot; command. What I want is an automatic timer. For example, the timer is set to wake up every second to do something. I only need to set the timer once. After I set the timer, I should be able to do something else.

Something like this:

proc imhere {} { puts "I'm here!"; after 1000 imhere }
imhere
puts "but can do other things"

?

Indeed to need an event loop (implicit with wish, explicit with tclsh)
