Just started an hour ago, need help with setup on mac osx

[Mithris]

Hello all.

I've just started learning the tk/tcl/wish combo this hour and would like a little help setting up my system.

Everything works as far as launching (wish/tclsh), but the only scripts I can get to work properly are those that launch wish into an X window.

I need some help with the scripts that pass text along to the terminal.

Here's the header I use to create a tcl script to successfully launch and display code in the X window:

#!/bin/sh
# the next line restarts using wish \
exec wish "$0" ${1+"$@"}
# tcl script follows
button .b -text "Hello, world!" -command exit
pack .b

This works, but I can't figure out why anytime I try to do a terminal only script, I'll get something like this:

% ./EchoArgs.tcl 1 2 3
./EchoArgs.tcl: line 1: puts: command not found
./EchoArgs.tcl: line 2: puts: command not found
./EchoArgs.tcl: line 4: foreach: command not found
./EchoArgs.tcl: line 5: puts: command not found
./EchoArgs.tcl: line 6: incri: command not found
./EchoArgs.tcl: line 7: syntax error near unexpected token `}'
./EchoArgs.tcl: line 7: `}'
child process exited abnormally

Thanks.

Can you show the code under EchoArgs.tcl?

I Think you have missed to tell your script to run TCL/TK
To run script under Unix/Linux/OSX without tell the program
so you could write

wish myScript

Or
Add the #! Line first in your script
#!/usr/bin/wish

And make the script runnable by
chmod +x myScript

Now it shuld work.

(Same soulution för PERL PYTHON RUBY and other script language)
