but i have an other problem.
why doesnt & replace with & in this regsub??

regsub -all "&" $line "&" line

because of the way it handles & in regexp matching

regsub -all "&" $line "\&" line

is what you need

why just three signs ??

because the expression is expanded twice when evaluated, thus you've gotta escape the thats escaping the &, and thus escape the thats escaping the , so you end up with 3
