Destroy $w - killing variable
Hello tcl wizards, I am not a tcl wizard and am trying to port over some code I found on the internet to my application. I am just creating a simple inputbox process that takes the root window and text message as inputs. The user then populates a text box and hits okay. At that point the... -
Issues with "source"
I think you must be right. It must be which. Because the code you gave me here seems to work. -
Issues with "source"
Wow - it locks up... This is the last thing I see: couldn't read file -
Issues with "source"
Yes - I am sure. I wish that was the solution. -
Issues with "source"
Yes - that DOES work. But for some reason if you use the regular expression to set it to the exact same text... it doesn't work? Very odd... -
Issues with "source"
The regular expression worked. I must have a problem with our interpreter. After the regular expression, the variable data was set to macmenu_source files. However, it still did not work. So, I am at a loss... source $data (where data = "macmenu_source_files") doesn't work, but source... -
Issues with "source"
Instead I have been trying to use string trimleft and cannot seem to get it to trim off the ./ special characters -
Issues with "source"

Issues with "source"
That will probably work. ./ is the directory because we cd to the location of the files prior to execution. I will try this. Crossing my fingers. -
Issues with "source"
No - it won't work if I have ./macmenu_source_files in data. It fails with file not found. If however I have "macmenu_source_files" by itself it DOES work. -
Issues with "source"
Sorry - brain dead - The puts displays: ./macmenu_source_files This is the location of the file we are trying to source in. -
Issues with "source"
Sorry - you lost me there. Is there a flag we need to use to determine the return code for each line being executed? I have never needed to use it. **Actually it's been like 5 years since I modified TCL code** -
Issues with "source"
This is the exact two lines right before the source command. These process fine. The problem occurs on the 3rd line: source $data.
