Hi.

I'm a newbie in Tcl and I have a big problem... I'm sure it's very, very stupid...

I have a variable list:
Code:

lappend vars "Kp" "Kd" "Da"

and I want to change the values of a set of variables by this way:
Code:

set cKp $Kp set cKd $Kd set cDa $Da

but with a foreach loop.

I tried:
Code:

foreach a_var $vars { set c$a_var $a_var }

but it doesn't work, because it assigns the string "Kp" or "Kd"  or "Da" to cKp, cKd and cDa, respectively.

If I say:
Code:

set c$a_var $$a_var

it assigns "$Kp", "$Kd" or "$Da"

Any solution, please?

You're looking for double interpollation .... something like

Code:

foreach pn {p1 p2 p3} { set c$pn [set $pn] }

is the way to go.  I set variables p1, p2 and p3 to 10, 24 and 35 and after running the loop above I also had variables called cp1 cp2 and cp3 with those same values.

Thanks a lot!

It works Ayyy, TCL has a lot of small secrets hidden, he he.
