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 Our training notes are now very much out of date, but due to upward compatability most of our examples remain operational and even relevant ad you are welcome to make us if them "as seen" and at your own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))
search each word in each line in the file

Posted by bubby_k (bubby_k), 22 December 2004
Hi

New to tcl programming. I need to write a procedure to read a file, and each word on each line need to be searched to see wether that word is repeated in that file. If repeated, that line to be written out. I am not able think of a neat way to do this ? Any help is appreciated. For example :

The file will contain some lines similar to

a: b c d
b: e f
.
.
e : x y

So I need to search for each of item 'b, c, d' to see whether they are being used elsewhere, here item 'b' is used in the secondline, so I need to get line 'b: e f', likewise item 'e' also being used elsewhere, so I need also get line 'e: x y' line as well.

Thanks

Treat each line as a list to check each word in turn (you'll need to strip off the colons which, judging by your test data, you want eliminated) and scan through an array you're developing to see if the element already exists ... recording all elements in the array. Be careful to print out each line only once even if it matches because of two previous words.

Hmm - not sure how clear my description is.  Here it is in a piece of code:

Code:
proc filter {filename} {
       set fh [open $filename r]
       while {[gets $fh line] > -1} {
               regsub : $line " " clean
               set wanted 0
                       foreach word $clean {
                       if {[info exists previous($word)]} {
                               incr wanted
                       }
                       set previous($word) 1
               }
               if $wanted {puts $line}
       }
}
