String Match

Locutus · Post by **Locutus** » Sat Oct 20, 2001 7:41 pm

Is there a way to use wild cards in sting match?

for this example $nick = bleh

if {[string match $nick ble*]} { do something
}

In traditional mirc, we would use:

if (ble isin $nick)

Thanks...

you've got your string and pattern the wrong way round

try [string match *blah* $nick]

[string match bl* $nick]

didn't work....

point of note: if I do the full nick, it works..

[string match $nick bleh]

Thanks again..!

[04:45] <Petersen> .tcl set test blah
[04:45] <gaynewf> TCL: blah
[04:45] <Petersen> .tcl string match bl* $test
[04:45] <gaynewf> TCL: 1
[04:45] <Petersen> .tcl string match ab* $test
[04:45] <gaynewf> TCL: 0

wildcards work fine for me.
