I have the following:

set valuea "BLAH/YACK AG |72576/Simple=46544/Easy=YES_NO_MAYBE"
regexp {([^|]+)|([^$]+)} $valueA match Name ID

I would like Name to be -> BLAH/YACK AG
I would like ID to be      -> 72576/Simple=46544/Easy=YES_NO_MAYBE

but I am getting Name  -> (blank)
                              ID  -> BLAH/YACK AG |72576/Simple=46544/Easy=YES_NO_MAYBE

I am very new to Tcl.

What am I doing wrong ?

Thank you,
Gene


Hi there.

It's a quick one this.. You needed to escape the | character as in a regex it means 'or'.

Try this:

Code:

set valueA "BLAH/YACK AG |72576/Simple=46544/Easy=YES_NO_MAYBE" regexp {^([^|]+)\|([^$]+)} $valueA match Name ID
