hi everyone,
This is regarding the command in tcl
when i am trying to use the above command my console hangs, can anyone suggest me a solution or solve the problem ...if below shown syntax isn't correct...please suggest corrections with an example.

puts -nonewline "Enter Name: "
set sumanth [gets stdin]
set fileid [open $sumanth w+]
puts $fileid "hi"
close $fileid

Thanks
ss

It's hard to say from just the information you provided but are you, by chance, using the "wish" shell rather than the "tclsh" shell?

Instead of

set sumanth [gets stdin]

try

gets stdin sumanth
