Hi,
I've a problem about the function getfiles.
I set in a variable the return value of getfiles (it return the files of a dir).
I use:
set files [{getfiles $homedir}]
putserv "PRIVMSG $chan :$files"
[12:30] Tcl error [flist]: invalid command name "getfiles $fhome"
I've been loaded the transfer and filesys module, how I can do?

as far as I know, "getfiles" is not an included command. From what you want to do, I suggest "glob".

glob -directory $dirname *

The problem is you have an extra set of curly braces.

set files [{getfiles $homedir}]

It's trying to execute the command {getfile $homedir}. What you want is to execute getfile, with $homedir as an argument.

set files [getfiles $homedir]
