TCL is just simple normal character coding, which can be edited using NOTEPAD and WORDPAD in Windows.
On unix etc you can use PICO with wrapping.

If you want to use TCL editors you can find some on these links:
- http://wiki.tcl.tk/1184
- http://tcltk.free.fr/index.php3?idxcat=15
- http://www.softpanorama.org/Editors/tcl_editors.shtml

Or an alternative www.google.com and 'search' ===> 'tcl editor'
Normally I use wordpad, and so do most scripters I guess.

But if you use editors you might be able to execute your code
as well detect syntax/logic errors which you cannot do using txt/doc
file editors (notepad, wordpad, msword etc).

There is Tcl editor written in tcl. Its called ased. If you're using Windows i suggest med, which is much better than Wordpad (proper colours, UNIX mode, no useless ^M at the end of line). Type it on google and you will find many results

One of the best I have ever come across, and only use is EditPlus2. It's perfect for all Unix format text files. It comes complete with some very usefull options.

Thanx alchera... I'll use your recommendation as well. I always use WORDPAD, I think its time to change, and be a little more optimistic.

My pleasure

A change is as good as a holiday.

Med is also very good, for me much better than EditPlus2

does med have syntax highlighting and syntax completion and if so where can i get it otherwize med sux :p and is just an other wordpad and can't even be compared to editplus hehe, well thats my opinion

Syntax highlighting yes, but completion no, sometimes syntax completion in Editplus2 make some troubles, at least for me. It is not just another wordpad, download it http://www.pfersdorff.de and try. For me med is much better than Editplus2.

When you use wordpad what the format you save the file .tcl ? document normal?

Yeah... when saving using.. WORDPAD from the format type just selected 'TEXT DOCUMENT' and in the filename to save type myfile.tcl. That should save it to a normal txt file... with the extension being .tcl.

Sometimes lame NOTEPAD saves it myfile.tcl.txt... with the .txt coming in the end... (but you can always rename it) thats why I use WORDPAD which is more better.

In all 3 editors: ased, med and editplus you can set correct format (UNIX or Windows/DOS).

A little known trick with file saving (Save As...); enclose the filename plus the new extenstion within quotes ie. "Eggdrop.botchk" and guess what happens? No more file renaming within Windows &c. This works in all word processors within Windows.
