Hi,

I have a config file which contains multiple entries of following format:
=====Config file==================
HOST_NAME=<name
HOST_INDEX=<n>
IP_ADDRESS=<ip>
PASSWORD=<passwd>
======================
I want to write a tcl script which has follwoing functionalities:
1) read the file
2) search for required "'host name"
3) get the respective IP and password and save in some local variables, which can be used for automation.

I have open that config file from my script , I think I can search the host name by grepping for the word, but how do I get the respective IP and password?

Thanks in advance.

I would use a regular expression match (see the regexp command to identify the incoming data lines for the IP address and password, and add extra parameters onto the regexp to capture the changing data - i.e. the IP address and the password.

No, sorry, not on this forum.   We're very much providing a technical support service for people with questions on their Tcl - it's not our mission to write complete programs, nor (here) to train you from scratch - there are much better ways of learning Tcl. See here
