i had a multi script that work fine on my old shell but now the script gives me loads off errors on my new shell am not sure if it is a tcl version problem.. my shells current tcl is Tcl library: /usr/lib/tcl8.5
Tcl version: 8.5a2 (header version 8.4.5) i am unable to change this but would like to run my old version off my script heres an example off an error.

<ChanBosS> [18:09] Tcl error [pub_cd]: wrong # args: should be "switch ?switches? string {pattern body ... ?default body?}"

is there anyone who got the time to look at the tcl n advice me if it can be changed to work on new shell, please let me know

type .set errorInfo and post the full error traceback

alternatively, install the Tcl version your script works with in your home dir for your private use

well, obviously your switch (it's actually a Tcl command, just like all other control structures in Tcl) doesn't conform to switch syntax
