Help with Parsing a string 1

[Ati2ude]

I have been tasked with determing if a given string contains a @ character. If so remove the character and concat the remaining values together to form a new string. I am leaning towards something like this.


regsub -all "\-" $oldstring "" newstring

Is this the best method for handling this?? Thanks in advance for the advice.

I'd use "string map {@ ""} <your string>". It's a little faster than regsub.

That's how I would do it.

Would this work if I had multiple "@" characters in the string? In reviewing my documentation I have not found the string map function and am not familiar with it. Thanks again for the response, BTW I did some testing with the function and it works great!

Yes. "string map {@ ""} ..." will change all instances of "@".

Bong that worked like a champ. SOrry have not had time to thank you for the POST, we are finally getting some breathing room.
