Hello: After running into major compatitiblity problems with C#, ASP.NET, MS Access, Linux, and Mono, I've decided to program in a language that is cross-platform, open source, and compatible with embedded databases that are also compatible with many platforms. I narrowed my choice down to TCL. Before I began a sample application with...
Hello: I am trying to figure out the basic steps to creating a Tcl starkit in Windows.

I have a c++ server side project that I need to embed some sort of scripting into. It is part of an online MMO type of server. I have significant experience using TCL, and it seems like the natural fit. I've done a minimal amount of Lua in my game dev days, and I wonder if this might be a better language for embedded scripting. It is als...

There are some utils for that purpose under Windows, but I'm doing cross-building of Windows Tcl Starpacks on FreeBSD.

I'm trying to run tclhttpd in a slave interpreter but slightly modified so as to run within a tclkit. The code below "runs" (I can hit http://localhost:8015) but never reaches the puts line at the bottom because "the server does not return, it enters [vwait forever]". But when I try "the after 0 trick", e.g. prepending "after 0 " to th...

The BWidget ComboBox widget allows you to fill in an entry field with a value. I would like to enforce only specific characters in that field (e.g. only [a-z0-9]). For that purpose I would like to use Tcl/Tk's -validatecommand (or -vcmd for short), just as you do with the standard 'entry' widget: proc ValidateMyEntry { value } { # C...
Hello: I am building a Tcl application that reads off of a Sqlite Db. Currently, I can enter data into the database using the Tcl frontend. Now, I am trying to figure out how to display the data within the Sqlite Db from the Tcl frontend. After a little bit of research, I found that the treeview widget would work well for my needs. ...
I can easily concatenate two variables, foo and bar, as follows in Tcl: "${foo}${bar}". However, if I don't want to put an intermediate result into a variable, how can I easily concatenate the results of calling some proc? Long hand this would be written: set foo [myFoo $arg] set bar [myBar $arg] set result "${foo}${bar}" Is there s...

I would like to get all elements following a particular index of a list. This could be written as: set foo {0 1 2 3 4 5 6 <...> n} puts [lrange $foo 1 [llength $foo]] However, it seems like a waste to compute the length of the list. It would be nice if the last argument to lrange was optional and omitting it meant to continue until ...

Hi, In Tcl 8.5 I can do something like this: apply llength { 1 2 3 } But that apply is not defined in v8.4. How would I define apply using Tcl in v8.4? I need this because I am converting some lisp code to Tcl. The lisp code has some constructs that I would like to port like this: array set levels { TRACE 0 DEBUG 1 INFO ...
I would like to have a comment within a command and it appears that this is not possible given that the '#' character is defined in Tcl 8.4 to be: If a hash character (``#'') appears at a point where Tcl is expecting the first character of the first word of a command, then the hash character and the characters that follow it, up through...
