question marks in strings

Post by NewzNZ »

Hi there

Am trying to single out question marks (?) in some of my strings...

Have tried:

if {[string match "*\?*" $string]} {

..but no luck...
Any ideas would be appreciated...cheers.

[string match "*\\?*" $string]
I'm sorry, I can't remember where I got that from, so I can't provide you with a reference.

What about string first ? $string?
Once the game is over, the king and the pawn go back in the same box.
