| 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 Our training notes are now very much out of date, but due to upward compatability most of our examples remain operational and even relevant ad you are welcome to make us if them "as seen" and at your own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)) |
String match to \

How do I use the string match command to check whether a variable contains a string that ends with a \?Posted by admin (Graham Ellis), 2 November 2002

You want to literally match a \ character, so the string match command needs to receive the special sequence \\ in a similar way to it would need to receive \* if it was to match an asterisk.
The Tcl interpretter also uses the \ as a special character, and in order to pass a \ through there it also needs an extra \ added for protection - to EACH of the two \ characters that you want to get through to the match pattern. Thus you use \\\\ if you want to literally match a \.
