finding a character in a string

[Hina Siddiqui]

Hi guys,

I am writing a tcl proc where i need find out if a string has “,” (comma) in it or not. If it does then i do a split function on the string(split based on comma).

For example: if the input string is “X is good, Y is good”

How can i find out if the above string contains the “,” character?

Please provide some feedbacks.

I have tries string compare, but it did not work.

Thanks in advance 🙂

Hina,

You can use the IF Xlate Action with the  contains (ct) operand to check to see if a string contains another string.

Then inside that IF you can invoke your split proc.

hey Jim, Thanks a lot. Its working now.

I was getting an error “unrecognized lexical character” but this was because i was putting the character in the if condition like

IF @strtemp eq =,

then i assigend the comma to a variable and then used in IF condition and it started working. 🙂
