is there a better way to do this?

[droolin]

i have some code that works, but there has to be a better way to do this. Could anyone offer sugestions?????

Code: Select all

set namecheck [string map {":" "" "0" "" "1" "" "2" "" "3" "" "4" "" "5" "" "6" "" "7" "" "8" "" "9" ""} [lrange $text 5 end]]

That line of code looks like crap to me, is there a better way? regsub????

Any help is most appriceated.

Thank you, that worked great. Ya know, most of the time when i see something like that. I understand it. This one, I dont understand it all.

Code: Select all

regsub -all \[:0-9\]{1,} [lrange $text 5 e] "" namecheck 

1. why the back slash's? I dont see any escape characters? Or is that because of the enclosure of the search argument in the []'s?
2. What does the {1,} do? That one I have no idea on. Not a clue.

Thank you again, the help was very much appriceated.
