What about something like:

foreach f [glob <directory path>/*.$extension] {
    if {[string first debug $f]<0} {
        #then $f is a filename without "debug"
        if {[string first $name $f]<0} {
           if {[string first $version $f]} {
           }
        }
    }
}

That should be:

foreach f [glob <directory path>/*.$extension] {
    if {[string first debug $f]<0} {
        #then $f is a filename without "debug"
        if {[string first $name $f]>-1} {
           if {[string first $version $f]>-1} {
           }
        }
    }
}

Thank you Bob Rashkin.

i spent all my time with the other code today. i will revisit this tomorrow. thanks again for giving me something to work with.

Note that if you know the general structure of the file name, like, say, $name*$version*.$extension, glob will take patterns like that.
