readfile tcl script mod

Since I had no luck trying to contact the author of mc.readfile.tcl (v1.4) I thought someone here might be able to help me with a modifcation. The script reads from a specific file based on a public trigger (ex. !help) and privmsg the contents of the file to the requestor. For every trigger you have a different set line:

set listmc(<trigger>) <filename>.txt

I would like to find a way to modify this to something along these lines:

set listmc(!trigger-<variable>) <variable>.txt

This would allow one set line to cover multiple files/triggers (ex. !channel-help gets help.txt while !channel-rules gets rules.txt).

How might I go about getting this functionality?

your try is good:

set listmc(!trigger-<variable>) <variable>.txt

set listmc(!trigger-<variable>) <variable>.txt

I think what I am missing here then is what exactly do I write in place of <variable> so I can use just this one set instead of a set line for each trigger/file.
