Spaces in return proc

BiLL · Post by **BiLL** » Mon Jun 30, 2003 10:12 am

Hi,

I got a little proc which gives me something special in "return"

.

End is like that:

return $clr[lindex [lindex $db $num] 0]

But now I want him to return:

return $clr[lindex [lindex $db $num] 0]<space>space>

I tried:

return "$clr[lindex [lindex $db $num] 0]<space>space>"

But it doesn't work also. ( { } gets added in output )

How can I add these 2 spaces now to the end? So that the output in IRC is with 2 spaces also.
Would be great if anyone can help,

thanks.

Try

Code: Select all

return "  "

I tried that
I set everything into the "" but then the return got also a { } in it - How can I get rid of these signs?

that return is later used for lappend - but as soon as i put a space into it the list (done by lappened) will have a { } char

.
anyone knows a trick for that? i tried to regsub them but didnt work

Why are you creating a list if a string is what you want?
Use append, not lappend

(lists are just strings with some special chars escaped.)

Hmm. I don't know what's going on, but your original post is appearing differently today than it did to me yesterday (everything after the $clr was blank)
