Non-Greedy regex acts greedy based on the position of atoms in regex
It's not that well documented (IMO) but the re_syntax man page says this about greedy/non-greedy preference: A branch has the same preference as the first quantified atom in it which has a preference. (emphasis mine) So if you have .* as the first quantifier, the whole RE will be greedy,...
Tcl How to write data to a specific line number in the middle of operating
You can use seek to move the current location in a channel opened on a file (it's not meaningful for pipes, sockets and serial lines); the next read (gets, read) or write (puts) will happen at that point. Except in append mode, when writes always go to the end. seek...
Questions on Regex algorithm (not necessarily EXPECT related)
I think it is going to be best to use simpler matches but more match clauses. That tends to give easier to understand code. send "show cdp neighbors detail\r" expect { -re {^Device ID: (\w+)} { set neig $expect_out(1,string) exp_continue } -re {^Interface: ([\w/]+), [^:]+: ([\w/]+)} { set localint $expect_out(1,string)...
Tcl return vs. last evaluated in proc - internals
In Tcl 8.6 you can inspect the bytecode to see how such procedures compare. If we define a pair of implementations of 'sum' and then examine them using tcl::unsupported::disassemble we can see that using the return statement or not results in the same bytecode. % proc sum_a {lhs rhs} {expr...
Convert expect output from DOS to UNIX style in realtime
It turned out the problem is really simple. What I am doing with my scripts is calling them like below: expect script.exp > mylog As told in the description, mylog contains ^M line-endings when opened in Vim or using cat -v mylog. To get rid of them in real-time, I...
Tcl crange vs. string range
crange has a slightly extended syntax for the index expressions. If you don't need that syntax (and you probably won't) you should use the core command string range instead since it lets you avoid the dependency on TclX and makes your code more readable to people unfamiliar with the extension....
Strange behavior of tcl comments?
Tcl's comments are real comments, but they're parsed at the same time as other parts of the syntax, such as braces. This means that when we parse your code, we've got to take into account the brace counting as well. Here's how the parser thinks: “Ready to parse a command.”...
Cannot evaluating variable within IF and For loop using TCL
There is a lot that seems problematic in your code. In the first line, you use the variable lenght. Tcl doesn't care about spelling, but if you don't have such a variable (you might possibly have a length variable instead) you will get an error. In the invocation expr ([lindex...
tk entry background color change in readonly mode
The manual page for entry, specifies that the -readonlybackground option will change the background color for entry widgets in read-only mode.
tcl non curly braces expression slower than with them?
When you put braces around an expression, especially when you use variable parts in that expression, Tcl becomes able to determine at script compilation time what the semantics of the expression are. This allows it to generate bytecode for the expression and makes everything rather more rapid when it comes...
expect fails when running proc inside proc
I don't have my copy of "Exploring Expect" handy, but I think you're running into a variable scoping issue. spawn invisibly sets a variable named spawn_id. When you call spawn in a proc, that variable is scoped only for that proc. Declare it as global: proc sftp_connect {} { global...
How to get repeated number in string? [closed]
The most compact way is probably: string length [regsub -all {[^2]+|2{2,}} $a {}] But there's more to this. Measuring the frequency of an item in a list is trivial: set freq {} foreach item $list {dict incr freq $item} The resulting dictionary will have items for keys and their frequencies...
TCL hang on gets
The gets command waits for newline. It's probable that both outmsg.data and opphandle ends in newlines ("\n" or "\r" or "\r\n"). It would explain why the first two gets works. Check to see if inmsg.board ends in a newline. If not, you can simply do: fprintf (write_to,"%s\n",inmsg.board); For robustness, it's...
What is a good approach for continuous searching for a fresh term of a pattern in a large file?
so this does it: seek [set fp [open $file]] $_fOffset set txt [read $fp] set _fOffset [tell $fp] In context: ::itcl::class clsLogs { private { variable _fOffset 0 } public { method _fFreshRead {file args} { set options(-resetOffSet) false array set options $args if {$options(-resetOffSet)} { set _fOffset 0 }...
Putting a string on same line tcl
In Tcl, we can use regexp to extract the required data. set nmap_output "Nmap scan report for 169.254.0.1 Host is up (0.014s latency).

Grepping second pattern after matching first pattern
A Perl one-liner to slurp the whole file and match across any newlines for the pattern you seek would look like: perl -000 -nle 'm{(foo2).*(\#89888)}s and print join " ",$1,$2' file The -000 switch enables "slurp" mode which signals Perl not to split the file into chunks, but rather treat...
How can I search for a file using tcl, with only part of the file name
With glob, you can apply the pattern and can get the list of file names matching our criteria. puts [ exec ls -l ]; #Just printing the 'ls -l' output set myfiles [ glob -nocomplain hello*091*.txt ] if {[llength $myfiles]!=0} { puts "Following files matched your pattern : " foreach...

I simply explored all the children of the tablelist, found the correct label widget reference .t.hdr.t.f.l0 and updated the activebackground property
apply regsub for certain line in a paragraph in tcl
The “cheap hack” method is to use string map: set mapping {} foreach value $trapremlist { # Sneaky point: remove version with leading comma first lappend mapping ",$value" "" $value "" } set removed [string map $mapping $test] This is going to blow up nastily if you've got any of...
How can I check if a directory is empty?
With glob, try searching for the pattern * in it. set dir "/home/dinesh/stack" set file_list [glob -nocomplain "$dir/*"] if {[llength $file_list] != 0} { puts "$dir is not empty" } else { puts "$dir is empty" } ...
Tcl procedure return vs. set as return operator
The bytecode sequence is effectively the same; both push the value onto the operand stack and call the done operation which terminates the procedure successfully. I usually prefer to use return as that's clearer as to what I mean.
How can I find out if a Tcl_Obj is a certain kind of ttk:: entity, such as ttk:entry?
You're doing this very thoroughly wrong. What you should do is instead assume that you're passed a widget name (something like .a2.b5.c9) and then ask Tk to tell you what the class of the widget with that name is. winfo class .a2.b5.c9 For an instance of a ttk::entry, this will...
Append a string to variable during array creation
Since you want to substitute the variables, you can't use {braces} to declare the array elements: $ tclsh % set var1 "some text" some text % set var2 "other text" other text % array set arrValues {1 ${var1}_text 2 ${var2}_text 3 ${var1}_different_text 4 ${var2}_different_text} % parray arrValues arrValues(1) = ${var1}_text...
How to find corresponding values in columns using TCL

Line break support in parser (TCL)
It looks like you have defined a domain specific language (DSL) with the parsing implemented in Tcl. You may as well use the Tcl parsing itself to deal with things like line continuation and quote handling. The method to do this is to create a safe interpreter and in the...
TK/TCL, trouble understanding this tic tac toe code snippet
Variables in Tcl (Tk is just a window drawing toolkit that lives on top of Tcl) are defined when they are written to; there's usually no explicit declaration. The only exception to this is with variables directly in a namespace, where it is best practice to use the variable command...
TCl-Tk How to catch floating point numbers from a file

TCL get array value using variable as key name
You should set the variable as set ciphers "000000010002" Update 2 I don't know whether your additional braces in the array set command is a typo or not. array set IANA_Ciphers [list {0000} {"TLS_NULL_WITH_NULL_NULL"} \ {0001} {"TLS_RSA_WITH_NULL_MD5"} \ {0002} {"TLS_RSA_WITH_NULL_SHA"} \ {0003} {"TLS_RSA_EXPORT_WITH_RC4_40_MD5"} \ [...] {C0AF} {"TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_256_CCM_8"} ] } #...
Setting array value as a list
You do not use the correct number of arguments. drawX $rect($i) This is a function call with just one argument. If you want to expand those arguments, you need to use the expand operator on it (8.5+). drawX {*}$rect($i) In older versions that can be done with some eval magic....
Expect, find files with timestamp
file exists doesn't support regexp patterns. You can use glob. set myfiles [ glob -nocomplain "/home/ARNE/ARNE/SCRIPTS/*.xml" ] if {[llength $myfiles]!=0} { puts "Following XML files found : " foreach fname $myfiles { puts $fname; # Now you can process these elements as per your wish if {[regexp {RBS_delete\d+\-\d+\.xml} $fname]} {...
Pass variable as parameter to awk file in TCL

Executing a test in TCL
The exec command considers it a failure if the called command outputs anything to stderr, even if it has a successful exit status: If any of the commands writes to its standard error file and that standard error is not redirected and -ignorestderr is not specified, then exec will return...
How to match a colon after a close bracket
It is not the problem with :, but with [. The [ is special to both Tcl and the Expect pattern matcher so it is particularly messy. To match a literal [, you have to backslash once from Tcl and then again so that it is not treated as a...
Using $variable in Parenthesis in Tcl (proc)
Tcl does not do substitutions on things inside {braces}. If you want substitutions, you've got to either put the overall word inside "double quotes", or use the subst command: set x 2. set columnLine [subst {$x 5. 10. 15.}] set x 2. set columnLine "$x 5. 10. 15." One advantage...
Error: clock scan “-100000 minutes” -base 1
It's a misfeature really, and one that isn't going to be fixed. The issue is that a six (or more) digit number can be interpreted as either a number or as a timestamp or a time or a date. The parser (something horrible hacked from the output of yacc) gets...

TCL, get full error message in catch command
The short answer is to look at the value of errorInfo which will contain the stack trace. The more complete answer is to look at the catch and the return manual pages and make use of the -optionsVarName parameter to the catch statement to collect the more detailed information provided....
How to get selective data from a file in TCL?

Running multiple exec commands and waiting to finish before continuing
One way is to modify your tests to create a "finished" file. This file should be created whether the test completes correctly or fails. Modify the startup loop to remove this file before starting the test: catch { file delete $path0/$testvar/finished } Then create a second loop: while { true...
Replace several lines of commands with a single variable in tcl
Variables are for storing values. To hide away (encapsulate) some lines of code you need a command procedure, which you define using the proc command. You wanted to hide away the following lines set f [listFromFile $path1] set f [lsort -unique $f] set f [lsearch -all -inline $f "test_*"] set...

Tcl: Producing a Loop (*)
The thing you're looking for is lrepeat in combination with {*}: set Beam_Gravity_Load [list {*}[lrepeat [expr {$n-1}] $a] $b] You could also do it with for: set value {} for {set i 1} {$i < $n} {incr i} { lappend value $a } lappend value $b set Beam_Gravity_Load $value (If...
Get items in specific index list of lists
One solution is to conscript the dict values command: dict values [concat {*}{{a 1} {b 2} {c 3}}] How this works: the dict values collects a list consisting of every other item (starting from the second) in another list. This is intended to be used on dictionaries, but since dictionaries...
How to execute 'Zoom Fit' in ModelSim/QuestaSim from TCL console?
If I understand what you're trying to do correctly, wave zoom full works for me. Your technique works if you use WaveRestoreZoom {0 fs} [simtime]. By putting simtime in curly braces, you're asking for it to be treated as a literal string. Square brackets ask it to try to evaluate...

Itcl What is the read property?
All Itcl variables are mapped to Tcl variables in a namespace whose name is difficult to guess. This means that you can get a callback whenever you read a variable (it happens immediately before the variable is actually read) via Tcl's standard tracing mechanism; all you need to do is...
ns: 217: invalid command name “217” while executing “217”
You've probably used a variable containing a numeric value as a command name, perhaps by putting it at the start of a line or by placing [brackets] around it (because brackets do command substitution). The brackets can be even embedded in a string: This example demonstrates what I mean: set...
How to deploy complex tcl applications
The canonical way to do that with Tcl is a so called starpack or starkit. A starpack is a single binary that contains a Tcl runtime and all needed scripts and extensions in a single file. A starkit does it with two files (one runtime originally called tclkit and a...
Quickest way to evaluate a variable in TCL
reference,tcl,expect,evaluation
If you have a string containing just the name of a variable, you are best off using set with only a single argument: set myref {expect_out(buffer)} puts "The value is [set $myref]" But if you've got that $ as well, the right thing to do is to use subst (which...

For loop increment by a non-integer in TCL
The incr command only works with integers. Otherwise, use: set i [expr {$i + $power_pitch}] The for command itself won't mind. (Be aware of float rounding issues; they're not Tcl-specific, but can hit with anything that isn't an integer multiple of a power of 2…)...

How to search a a directory tree in TCL for files that end in .so or .a and build a list of those directories
Tcllib has a fileutil module that does a recursive find: package require fileutil set filenames [::fileutil::findByPattern /dir -glob {*.so *.a}] foreach filename $filenames { if {[file isfile $filename]} { set dirs([file dirname $filename]) 1 } } puts [array names dirs] If you want to use this, but can't install something,...
Pick out certain lines from files
It shouldn't be hard. To begin with, you probably want to split the file's contents at the line breaks: set data [split [string trim [read $f]] \n] When you've done that, you could use a number of techniques to select the lines you want, for instance lsearch -all -inline $data...
Tcl - passing curly braces into a variable within a regsub command

How to catch subst exceptions in TCL

Using [clock format] through TKinter changes how proc returns “”
python,tkinter,type-conversion,tcl

Expand passed arguments before printing with puts to virtual server
As Etan Reisner pointed use double quotes in the puts command instead of braces, so that it will get replaced. puts ${file_id} " root_image=node-${env(os1)} if {[string first r ${env(os1)}] == 0} { create_node_byid 1 [string range ${env(os1)} 0 4]-64 } else { create_node_byid 1 [string range ${env(os1)} 0 5]-64 }...
split and assign into scalar variables in TCL
Just remove the foreach. What you want to do is actually this: lassign [split $variable #] net layer border In older versions of tcl where lassign is not available it used to be an idiom to use/abuse foreach: foreach {net layer border} [split $variable #] {} What you were thinking...
TCL: Make code cleaner from nested if-statements

How do I print more than one value per key in Tcl?
You can't do it with arrays or dictionaries; both are mappings from keys to values. Instead, you need to use foreach with a key-value pair system directly: set pairs { set1 table set2 chair set1 chair } foreach {key value} $pairs { puts "$key is $value" } This does actually...
Search two patterns in one line in tcl using regex
You should check for the value you specify: you have 10.77.33.200 in the string, and 10.77.34.200 in the regex. Also, pay attention to .: to match a literal dot, you need to escape it. Here is a working code that finds both values: set buff "SOME TEXT o=India-SIPUA 6264 0...

Why isn't exception handling built into the “dict get” command?
It's a common design choice in Tcl (as well as some other languages). When a command like dict get (or, more commonly, open) fails, the program has to deal with it, which means it has to be alerted to the failure in some way. The most common options is to...
Getting uniqe elements of the list in the following pattern
You can create a proc to do that (Tcl8.5 and later): proc lunique {l} { set result {} foreach i $l { if {$i ni $result} {lappend result $i} } return $result } For versions before 8.5, you would use [lsearch $result $i] == -1 instead of $i ni $result....
Please help me with the simple tcl code
You are allowing the loop to go through at most 1 iteration. This is because return quits the current proc (the loop as well automatically). Fixing that part would give: #!/usr/bin/tclsh proc raise {{base} {pow} args} { for {set base1 $base} {$pow >= 0} {incr $pow -1} { set ans...

TCL parsing a list of arguments to an external call
I don't know if the Tcl interpreter in your system is recent. If it is, you should be able to use python $python_app_name {*}$python_app_args to get the arguments as separate strings. The {*} prefix is a syntactic modifier that splices the items in a list as separate arguments. Example: list...
