For 2023 (and 2024 ...) - we are now fully retired from IT training.
We have made many, many friends over 25 years of teaching about Python, Tcl, Perl, PHP, Lua, Java, C and C++ - and MySQL, Linux and Solaris/SunOS too. Our training notes are now very much out of date, but due to upward compatability most of our examples remain operational and even relevant ad you are welcome to make us if them "as seen" and at your own risk.

Lisa and I (Graham) now live in what was our training centre in Melksham - happy to meet with former delegates here - but do check ahead before coming round. We are far from inactive - rather, enjoying the times that we are retired but still healthy enough in mind and body to be active!

I am also active in many other area and still look after a lot of web sites - you can find an index ((here))
Splitting a string

Posted by acidburn123 (acidburn123), 27 April 2008
Hey guys, I've seemed to have hit a brick wall. I've been trawling the internet for the last half hour and can't seem to figure out how to solve such a problem.

Basically I've got a string which contains a series of characters and I'm wanting to append a newline char when a certain character occurs.

I've got this so far:
 set b "Hello this//rocks my//world"
   set c [ split $b '//']
   puts $c

I figured if I split it, i could somehow access the elements like an array and append to each element, but this ain't been successful. Any pointers?

Use a regular expression - it's a "one liner"

Code:
set stuff "The piece of cake//The Crumb of Currant//The Almond"
set newstuff [regsub -all // $stuff "\n" ]
puts $newstuff


Result:
earth-wind-and-fire:~ grahamellis$ tclsh tc
The piece of cake
The Crumb of Currant
The Almond
earth-wind-and-fire:~
