Show run command with date

Question

Hello Community,
Is there a command in the IOS that will pick up todays date?
For example, show loggin | inc <todays_date>

Well, I have one, but it's not pretty. It's tcl which your router should support. To run it manually on the router, here's what I suggest (although I haven't been able to do much research):
Copy this to your router or a tftp server.
Here's the script:
---- Copy Below -----
set date [ exec {show clock} ]
set day [lindex $date 4]
set mth [lindex $date 3];
if { [ string length $day ] == 2 } {
    set result "${mth} ${day}"
} else {
    set result "${mth}  ${day}"
show log | inc $result
---- End of script -----
You can then create an alias on the router that you want to use this script on to launch it:
alias exec todayslogs tclsh tftp:///currentdate.tcl
OR
alias exec todayslogs tclsh flash://currentdate.tcl

I tested this on my router and it works great, although I can't guarantee that it will work correctly on yours. It's a start though....
HTH,
