this should be simple but i'm a little lost on how to approach this:

i built something like a cctv system, a camera recording all the time, the clips are saved to a folder in circular buffer style (fixed number of clips, oldest one gets overwritten). to know which clip was recorded when, each recording has a number in its filename which corresponds to a coll list where i save the start recording times.

what i now want to do, is find the clip which was recorded yesterday at the same time as now. so i need to somehow parse through this coll list and compare it to the current time/date (- 1 day).

my coll list looks like this (clipnumber, hour min sec month day year;):

i was thinking about maybe doing this with javascript (since it has a proper date object) but for this i would first need to somehow import this coll into what i think would be an array (date data) within an array (clipnumber), so i could then convert this to clipnumbers/timestamps, then compare... which all seems rather complicated.

how would i do this best (preferably even without js)?

if js should be the best way, how do i get this coll into js so i can work with it there?

parsing-coll-with-dates-maybe-with-javascript

i did find a _much_ simpler way of doing this (as i do now the length of my recordings i can just jump a set number of clips - without the need of dealing with dates at all). not sure why that wasn't my very first idea...

update: please ignore.

parsing coll with dates, maybe with javascript?
