 |
|
Hi,
I need a tcl to start awk like this:
| Code: | | awk -f alfa.awk -v was="array('$mask'" bans-$chan.txt >bans-$chan-tmp.txt |
But when I put it in my script (after exec) like that it complains about "extra characters after close-quote"
If I escape them (\") I get: Invalid command name """
I also tried this but that failed as well:
| Code: | set varname "awk -f alfa.awk -v was=\"array('$mask'\" bans-$chan.txt >bans-$chan-tmp.txt"
eval exec $varname |
What's the correct way to escape those quotation chars? |

| Code: | set awk [list awk -f alfa.awk -v was="array('$mask'" bans-$chan.txt >bans-$chan-tmp.txt]
eval exec $awk |
Encapsulate your arguments within [list] evaluation. See if that helps. | Quote: | <speechles> .tcl set a [list awk -f alfa.awk -v was="array('mask'" bans-chan.txt >bans-chan-tmp.txt]
<bot> Tcl: awk -f alfa.awk -v was=\"array('mask'\" bans-chan.txt >bans-chan-tmp.txt
* I had to strip the $ from your variables as I don't have those set *
* It would've worked with them if I had those set... * |

that doesn't work either.
while there's no error in console now the file is simply not changed, it's like awk didn't run at all.
example "bans-chan.txt":
example tcl:
| Code: | set awk [list awk -f alfa.awk -v was=");" bans-chan.txt >bans-chan-tmp.txt]
eval exec $awk |
the awk command itself is correct as it works in shell
EDIT: Well, never mind I guess, I found another solution (without using awk) |
