Is there?

[caesar]

Is there something that chould make my work easier when I'm writing in html files using alot of html code. This *manual* search and add a '\' drives me nuts. Now I found and fix one and another one appears.. seesh. Isn't there a easier way to do so?

I fail to understand where you problem is, and why are you doing a search and replace with / for.

Well, I have to write a html code to tcl file and generate a html page in the end. In the html code are some "'s and to make the tcl work I must put a \ in front of it.

Eg. of html code:

Code: Select all

<META content="foo" name=GENERATOR></HEAD>

and to tcl to make it work should be:

Code: Select all

<META content=\"foo\" name=GENERATOR></HEAD>

Understood now what I meant to say?

[ppslim]

These are required, otherwise Tcl would interpret it as the end of a arguement.

You can however, suround you argument with curly braces ({}), however, you again have to escape the braces.

Code: Select all

puts $file "Hello to \"ppslim\" {the one and only}"
puts $file {Hello to "ppslim" \{the one and onlu\}}

Evidently.. seems to be the same thing. I'll think to an alternative/solutin to this cos realy drives me nuts this earching thig

Why don't you put the html in an html file? If all you're doing is a bunch of puts "<blah>blahblah</blah>" then that would be best. If you need to substitute values into it, read in the html template file and use regsub.

Also I don't see what the problem is with ppslim's suggestion of using { }. You rarely use curly brackets in html, so you could do something like

puts {<META content="foo" name=GENERATOR></HEAD>
line 2
line 3
line 4
}

and it would work just fine.

I'll give it a try.. Thank you.
