Hi,

I am trying to use the regsub function to strip out the rtf formatting using the regular expression \w+|{.*?}

The above regular expression works fine in a test app I wrote using .NET, but not in TCL. Can anybody see why? My statement is below:

regsub -all \w+|{.*?} $OBX5 “” CleanOBX5

I get no value in the variable $CleanOBX5

Thanks,
Creator

  In tcl, it’s a good idea to wrap your regexps in braces.
  
  Code: regsub -all {…} $var1 {} var2
  
  Try this …
  
  Code: regsub -all {w+|{.*?} $OBX5 {} CleanOBX5
  
  I’m assuming your using the “|” as “or”. If not, you will need to escapte it with | like you did with the braces.
  
  Code: regsub -all {w+|{.*?} $OBX5 {} CleanOBX5
