Glob in command prompt

[anarchistx]

Hi everyone,

I've installed activeTCL on my windows machine. I'm using tcl to script commands in the command prompt.

Everything is fine, I've been using exec cmd.exe /c [dos command] to run everything.

When I try to revert back to tcl commands such as glob, nothing happens.

I first tested to make sure glob works by
doing tclsh, which I get ->%
and type in ->glob *
and it works.

but when I use it in my script [test.tcl], I get no results. All my other tcl commands work just fine. Any ideas?

Thanks.

If I understand you correctly, you have a Tcl script that includes the glob command. You execute the script and you don't get what you expect.

Not to belabor the obvious, but you do know that glob returns a list, right? That is, the proper syntax is something like:
set myList [glob *]
Then myList's elements are the contents of the current directory.

What does the relevant portion of your script look like?

=X .... totally missed it. Sorry, haven't used tcl in a little while, forgot to store it in as a variable. I am embarassed now.

Thanks bong for the quick response
