How do I close default wish window?

[jekahab18]

Hi,
I'm a Tcl/Tk newbie. I'm writing a console script in Tcl which must run in Linux and Windows.

In Linux the script is run by tclsh because of the
#!/usr/bin/tclsh
directive in the first line.
In Windows I use ActiveTcl which by default associates Tcl script with wish. So every script opens an empty Tk window even without any Tk commands.
How can I prevent this window from appearing (or kill it right after script starts)?

Thanks.

Hi

If the file association is wrong, why not change the file association ?

Otherwise you can use this in [tt]wish[/tt], but of course will generate error in [tt]tclsh[/tt] :

wm state . withdrawn

The problem with tclsh in Windows is that the console closes in case of an error. So it's quite a problem to understand what happened: the script finished its job or aborted because of an error.

Is there a way to prevent tclsh console from closing if my script has an error?

Hi

See what you can do with [tt]catch[/tt] to handle the errors yourself.

From Tcl Manual:
The only errors that are not caught are syntax errors found when the script is compiled.
