search file

[stewang]

Hello all:
Could anyone tell me how to pop a dialog box for search a file, please.

Thanks

do you mean "search for a file" (which would be "set filename [tk_getOpenFile]&quot?

Or do you mean to search a given file for some text:
set fid [open <filename> r]
set str1 [read $fid]
set indx [string first &quot;string to find&quot; $str1]

Or something else altogether?

Sorry, I make you confuse.
My question is how to search a file If I don't known which directory the file is belong to.
For example, if I try to looke for the file of &quot; test.tk &quot; , but I don't where they are,or I am not sure I have this file or not, then I go to the function of search, and type some reletive word, some thing like &quot;ts.tk&quot;, then it will bring out a dialog box to tell me whether they have this file,if they have, it bring out some files which are close to the &quot;ts.tk&quot;, and its corresponding position(which directory).

Could you help to solve this problem.

Thanks
