uncomment a *

[keeper2]

OK I have the following

set oper [lindex [split $arg " "] 6]
if {[string match "*" $oper]} {
...
}

So my problem is now I want to test if the * isin the variable oper, but so it get interpreted as any character.

so you want to check if '*' is anywhere in your string? or only at the beginning?

Code: Select all

if {[string first * $oper 0] >0} {
  #this will check if there's at least one '*' in $oper
}

seems not to work. I want to test if in the variable $oper is no '*'.

if {![string first * $oper 0] >0} {
#this will check if there's at least no '*' in $oper
}

^^that doesnt't work

[keeper2]

if {[string first * $oper 0] < 0} {
#this will check if there's at least no '*' in $oper
}

OK have it
Thanks for help!
