bind dcc n test task:test

proc task:test { hand idx arg } {
set list "Monday, 27 January 2003"
set index [lsearch -exact $list Monday]
set list [lreplace $list $index $index foo]
putlog "List: $list"
}

And I still get as a result: 'foo Monday, 27 January 2003' instead 'foo, 27 January 2003'. I'm missing something?

The problem is all down to the fact, you are not working on a list, and you are using exact matching.

While there is nothing legaly wrong (in terms of differance between string and list) with the value of $list, the values arr as follows

Code: Select all

foreach item $list {
  puts stdout "Item: $item"
}

produced

Item: Monday,
Item: 27
Item: January
Item: 2003

Note the coma?

"lsearch" does an exact search (By the way, -exect and glob are the same, only wildcards are not translated, which saves CPU. However, passing "Monday" in both -exact and -glob modes works the same), for monday, and doesn't find it. So it returns -1 to the valud of $index.

Using -1 as the index in replace, causes the item to be prepended, and doesn't replace a thing.

If you searched for "Monday,", all would work fine.

I guess because of the lil ',' next to the Monday.. Anyway, found an easier solution for this: set list [join [lreplace [split $list] 0 0 moo,]] and this dose the trick. Thanks to the 'Forum Search' thingy
