Reply To: tcl – Checking for files

[Jim Kosloskey]

You could use the tcl glob command which returns a list of all entries found matching a glob pattern. I would use the nocomplain switch so that an empty set would not throw an error.

If you are concerned that a subdirectory might match the pattern, you could then work the list using ‘file isfile’ or ‘file isdirectory’.
