Hello!
If I use the command "lsearch" to look for the word "test" in a textfile, there is a difference between test and Test. But I want that they are equal. Unfortunately the function -nocase is only available from TCL 8.5. As I am using a windrop, compiling is not that easy. So is there another possibility to make the lsearch command case insensitive?

You could always do the ugly hack; making sure list is always lowercase (string tolower if your friend here).
It's not a pretty solution, but it usually does the trick...

lsearch has a -regexp option, and regexp has options for case-insensitive matching, so perhaps play around with that a bit..

Have you tried using the following?

[lsearch] has -nocase switch in Tcl 8.5 only

you may have to settle with converting to all lowercase before searching

Yes nml375 alread said that. It's a little bit circumstantial but it works.
