You’d think TCL argument processing has been done and would be easy to find. But not for me. Here are my notes,

    \n
  1. An article called command line arguments<\/a>, it has some sample TCL code accessing the $argv object<\/li>\n
  2. At tcl-lang.org, Argument Parsing: a discussion<\/a>\u00a0and an extended command called argparse<\/a>, but I get an invalid command name when using one of their examples. Is argparse<\/code> a python sub-routine?<\/li>\n
  3. How to parse_command-line_arguments in Tcl<\/a>\u00a0from rosettacode.org<\/li>\n
  4. and good old stack overflow package-for-parsing-argument-in-tcl<\/a>, with several examples. I have hit a problem and asked for help<\/a> at askubuntu.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    If it gets too hard I can always parse the command line in shell, which I did, see my smsg parser<\/a>, as ever with TCL, I am sure my code could could be less verbose. I looked<\/a> at associative arrays and displaying<\/a> them. I revised some procedure stuff<\/a>, and string manipulation<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
