Thanks guys - you saved me :)

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...

I think you must be right. It must be which. Because the code you gave me here seems to work.

Wow - it locks up... This is the last thing I see: couldn't read file

Yes - I am sure. I wish that was the solution.

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...

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...

Instead I have been trying to use string trimleft and cannot seem to get it to trim off the ./ special characters

It seems that Tcl7.6 doesn't support string map :(

I will have to look up the map command. I am getting this error: bad option "map": should be compare, first, index, last, length, match, range, tolower, toupper, trim, trimleft, trimright, wordend, or wordstart

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.

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.

Sorry - brain dead - The puts displays: ./macmenu_source_files This is the location of the file we are trying to source in.

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**

This is the exact two lines right before the source command. These process fine. The problem occurs on the 3rd line: source $data.

Yes - this is code that we used back in 1998 to produce menus for running several other programs. The unix command which just returns the path to the executable you want to execute. So "which macmenu_source_files" returns: "/conv1/bin/macmenu_source_files". I assign the returned value to...

Hello all, I am trying to get some of our old code to work, and have been having some troubles this morning. I was wondering if someone could help me. My environment is HPUX running under ksh. I am having problems with the following statements: set data [exec which macmenu_source_files]...
