      Calling tcl proc in a translation.

      string range “sample string” 3 7

      I should get result “ple s”

      but all I get is “ple”

      Any help? Thanks!

          Confused.

          Your code looks correct.

          So I pulled up a tcl comand prompt cut and pasted your command  and it seemed to work correclty.

          tcl>string range “sample string” 3 7  

          ple s                                  

          tcl>

            Yeah, it works interactively.

            I’m having trouble in the translation with tclproc.

            (I’m still working on this.) Have a good one.

              Steve,

              If you are doing this in translation, remember that you need to treat xlateOutVals as a list.  I suspect that you are doing something like:

              set myvar [string range “sample string” 3 7]

              set xlateOutVals $myvar

              where you need to set xlateOutVal as such:

              set xlateOutVals

                The translation is treating the “s” as the second element in xlateOutVals (since there is a space), so it is not getting put into the first output field…..

                Hope this helps.

                proc x {} {

                upvar xlateInVals xlateInVals xlateOutVals xlateOutVals

                     lassign $xlateInVals data

                     set xlateOutVals [string range $data 0 29]

                If my data is contiguous: 123456789012345678901234567890123

                I get a 30 char truncation: 123456789012345678901234567890

                if there are embedded blanks: 123456789 123456789 123456789 123

                I get a truncation after the first blank: 123456789

                (It’s making me more crazier)

                  Steve,

                  Change:

                  set xlateOutVals [string range $data 0 29]

                  to:

                  set xlateOutVals

                    ]
