TCL 8.5.6 invalid command name "clock"
Hello,
I running a c++ application with an Tcl 8.5.5. interpreter. Now I try
to
update TCL to version 8.5.6. While running the application with TCL
8.5.6 I get the following error:
invalid command name "clock"
while executing
"clock seconds"
Is there something I might have overseen, or is this a bug in version
8.5.6.
Thank you for help in advance.
Kind Regards

is the value of "clock scan today" correct (tcl 8.6)
Hi, I was surprised that the clock value of "now" and "today" are equal: % expr {[clock scan now] == [clock scan today]} 1 I expected the "today"s value to be: % clock format [clock scan today] Mon Jan 21 18:52:47 CET 2013 % clock format [clock scan {last day + 24 hours}] Mon Jan 21 00:00:00 CET 2013 Why behaves the clock value "today" this way?

What's wrong with "fconfigure stdout -encoding utf-8" on windows in Tcl 8.5.10

Tcl 8,5 tutorial errata on page "More Examples Of Regular Expressions"
Hi, In the Tcl 8.5 tutorial, a page titled "More Examples Of Regular Expressions" may contain errata in the following Tcl code: " set string "Again and again and again ..." if { [regexp {(\y\w+\y).+\1} $string => word] } { puts "The word $word occurs at least twice" } " You can see that the command 'regexp' sets a value into a variable called '=>'. This can be proved by executing the following code: " set string "Again and again and again ..." if { [regexp {(\y\w+\y).+\1} $string => word] } { puts "The word $word occurs at least twice" } upvar #0 "=>" x puts "$x" " I guess that the author meant to write something else? It doesn't make sense to have a variable named "=>". Here's a link to the relevant page in the tutorial: http://www.tcl.tk/man/tcl8.5/tutorial/Tcl20a.html Thank you.

Problem with TDBC in Tcl 8.6.0: version conflict for package "TclOO"

Tcl "source" command
I'm trying to have two programs interact. One is a compiled FOrtran code and the other is a Tcl/Tk script. I have the Fortran code write a snip of Tcl I wish the script to "source" to effectively do what the code is saying to do. I think I am getting hung up with WHEN the "source" is happening. If I have, as I do, other instances of a file being sourced that occurs when a button is pressed, that "source" is apparently hidden from being done as the program starts. The "source" I am trying to do in an "if" block (determining whether the file to be sourced exists or not) happens "right now" and, as the file that needs to be sourced does not exist, the script fails. I need a way to "conditionally" execute the "source" command without the "source .." having to be associated with a button. There must be a way to do this.

[Tcl] How to do "command with timeout"?
Ok, an example: set fail [catch {gets stdin} result] if { $fail } { if { $result == "interrupted" } { ... } } It passed thru the condition, because in 10 seconds the used did not enter anything. How to program such a behavior? I tried with enclosing it in a procedure (should be level #1 then) and I used "after 10000 uplevel #1 return". However this script was invalid - despite that the code actually executed was level #1, the "after" command (after 10000 ms of course) reported that #1 is invalid level.

"my" and "our"
Hi, while testing a program, I erroneously declared the same variable twice within a block, the first time with "my", the second time with "our": { my $fz = 'VTX_Link'; .... ( around 200 lines of code, all in the same block) our $fz = 'VTX_Linkset'; ... } So the initial contents of the $fz declared with "my" is lost, because "our" creates a lexical alias for the global $fz, thus overwriting the previous "my" declaration. It was my error, no question. But I wonder why Perl doesn't mention this - even with "use s...

"out" and "in out"
Hi i found the following explaination: In Ada, "in" parameters are similar to C++ const parameters. They are effectively read-only within the scope of the called subprogram. Ada "in out" parameters have a reliable initial value (that passed in from the calling subprogram) and may be modified within the scope of the called procedure. Ada "out" parameters have no reliable initial value, but are expected to be assigned a value within the called procedure. What does "have no reliable initial value" mean when considering the "out" parameter? By c...

is the value of "clock scan today" correct (tcl 8.6)
Hi, I was surprised that the clock value of "now" and "today" are equal: % expr {[clock scan now] == [clock scan today]} 1 I expected the "today"s value to be: % clock format [clock scan today] Mon Jan 21 18:52:47 CET 2013 % clock format [clock scan {last day + 24 hours}] Mon Jan 21 00:00:00 CET 2013 Why behaves the clock value "today" this way?

What's wrong with "fconfigure stdout -encoding utf-8" on windows in Tcl 8.5.10
With my built 8.5.10 I tried to issue command "fconfigure stdout - encoding utf-8" to tclsh on WinXP, the tcl prompt then was shown as two dots instead of percentage sign, C:\>tclsh85t.exe % fconfigure stdout -encoding utf-8 =E2=80=A5date The current date is: 11/29/2011 Tue Enter the new date: (mm-dd-yy) time The system cannot accept the date entered.

Tcl 8,5 tutorial errata on page "More Examples Of Regular Expressions"
Hi, In the Tcl 8.5 tutorial, a page titled "More Examples Of Regular Expressions" may contain errata in the following Tcl code: " set string "Again and again and again ..." if { [regexp {(\y\w+\y).+\1} $string => word] } { puts "The word $word occurs at least twice" } " You can see that the command 'regexp' sets a value into a variable called '=>'. This can be proved by executing the following code: " set string "Again and again and again ..." if { [regexp {(\y\w+\y).+\1} $string => word] } { puts "The word $word occurs at least twice" } upvar #0 "=>" x puts "$x" " I guess that the author meant to write something else? It doesn't make sense to have a variable named "=>". Here's a link to the relevant page in the tutorial: http://www.tcl.tk/man/tcl8.5/tutorial/Tcl20a.html Thank you.

Problem with TDBC in Tcl 8.6.0: version conflict for package "TclOO"

Tcl "source" command
I'm trying to have two programs interact. One is a compiled FOrtran code and the other is a Tcl/Tk script. I have the Fortran code write a snip of Tcl I wish the script to "source" to effectively do what the code is saying to do. I think I am getting hung up with WHEN the "source" is happening. If I have, as I do, other instances of a file being sourced that occurs when a button is pressed, that "source" is apparently hidden from being done as the program starts. The "source" I am trying to do in an "if" block (determining whether the file to be sourced exists or not) happens "right now" and, as the file that needs to be sourced does not exist, the script fails. I need a way to "conditionally" execute the "source" command without the "source .." having to be associated with a button. There must be a way to do this.

[Tcl] How to do "command with timeout"?
Ok, an example: set fail [catch {gets stdin} result] if { $fail } { if { $result == "interrupted" } { ... } } It passed thru the condition, because in 10 seconds the used did not enter anything. How to program such a behavior? I tried with enclosing it in a procedure (should be level #1 then) and I used "after 10000 uplevel #1 return". However this script was invalid - despite that the code actually executed was level #1, the "after" command (after 10000 ms of course) reported that #1 is invalid level.

"my" and "our"

( around 200 lines of code, all in the same block) our $fz = 'VTX_Linkset'; ... } So the initial contents of the $fz declared with "my" is lost, because "our" creates a lexical alias for the global $fz, thus overwriting the previous "my" declaration. It was my error, no question. But I wonder why Perl doesn't mention this - even with "use s...

"out" and "in out"
Hi i found the following explaination: In Ada, "in" parameters are similar to C++ const parameters. They are effectively read-only within the scope of the called subprogram. Ada "in out" parameters have a reliable initial value (that passed in from the calling subprogram) and may be modified within the scope of the called procedure. Ada "out" parameters have no reliable initial value, but are expected to be assigned a value within the called procedure. What does "have no reliable initial value" mean when considering the "out" parameter? By c...
