Once again, I barely managed to fit in that topic title!

For a while, I've tried to figure out how to access files in the same directory (in the context of multi-file programs), but I always get a "file does not exist" error unless the working directory is the same as the one that contains the files. Mainly, I would like to know how a script can either run scripts in its directory or obtain its absolute location.

Thanks for your time! This should be an easy one to figure out, but I just haven't had any luck.

Add a "." to the appropriate path variable.   Tcl has a number of predefined variable s and if you lappend a "." for current directory before you read the file ...

Code:

% puts $tcl_libPath /usr/lib/tcl8.4 /lib/tcl8.4 /usr/library /library /tcl8.4.7/library /System/Library/Frameworks/Tcl.framework/Versions/8.4/Resources/Scripts % puts $auto_path /System/Library/Frameworks/Tcl.framework/Versions/8.4/Resources/Scripts /System/Library/Frameworks/Tcl.framework/Versions/8.4/Resources /usr/lib ~/Library/Tcl /Library/Tcl /Network/Library/Tcl /System/Library/Tcl ~/Library/Frameworks /Library/Frameworks /Network/Library/Frameworks /System/Library/Frameworks % put $tcl_pkgPath /System/Library/Frameworks/Tcl.framework/Versions/8.4/Resources/Scripts ~/Library/Tcl /Library/Tcl /Network/Library/Tcl /System/Library/Tcl ~/Library/Frameworks /Library/Frameworks /Network/Library/Frameworks /System/Library/Frameworks %
