Determining what PROC i'm in

[johnlopez2000]

for purposes of abstracting my error/warning messages, I need something like

set x [info myProgName]
set y [info myProcName]

to determine the program name that is being executed, and the proc in which the interpreter launches the message:

err "[info myProgName] - [info myProcName]: my error msg"

I've looked at "info" and "tclvars" to no avail

thanks - (probably something obvious)

You're after:

  set myproc [lindex [info level 0] 0]

And info script will give you the name of the currently executing script file. Note that if one Tcl script sources another, an info script command in the sourced script will give its file name, not that of the sourcing script. If you want the name of the originally launched script file, that's the value of the pre-defined global argv0 variable. (By the way, if you simply launch an interactive Tcl interpreter, argv0 will report the name of the interpreter, rather than any script file you happen to source in that interactive session.)
