Hi all. Got a problem with my regex Trying to match the beginning and end of a word so I dont break words such as breakfast if I was looking for just break.

Here is the line:

set newword [exec echo "$newword | sed "s/\b$redword\b//"]

using TCL. The error Im getting is:

extra characters after close-quote.

Is \b incorrect for matching in TCL?

Perhaps this ?
set newword [exec echo "$newword[!]"[/!] | sed "s/\b$redword\b//"]

Hope This Helps, PH.
