      Hi,

      All you regexp/sub experts I need some help.

      I have a file that contains a filename in quoted text i.e. “fred.csv”. When I try and open this in my Tcl script it complains because Tcl is trying to open “”fred.csv””.

                             set ofh [open $fname w]

      So how do I remove the double quotes so I get fred rather than “fred”?

      Thanks

      Garry

          Code:

          regsub -all — “”” $data “”

            Or (as Charlie would point out except I beat him to the punch, nyah!)

            you could use

               string map {{“} {}} $filenamestring

            –kk

              Whups, Mr. Abbot*:

              regsub -all {“} $data {} data

              (or wherever you decide to put the result.)

              –kevin (won’t y’all be glad when they make me start doing something productive again?) kinnell

                Thanks for those.

                I spent quite a while trying to do these in both regsub and string map without success so I though it best to shout help.

                This is what I like about the Cloverleaf community.

                Thanks again.

                  I was totally trying to beat Charlie to it, too, but I could not for the life of me figure out how to make it work with string map.  ðŸ˜¯ Nested bracers! Never would have thought of that.

                  Maybe a prettier way with regsub could be like this:

                  Code:

                  regsub -all {”} $data {} data
