global variables

[David Coffey]

I need some help here…….

I am aware of 2 system defined global variables:  HciConnName and HciSiteDir.   Are there others?   If so where would I find them?

David, from a tcl shell, type “info globals”.

Code:

tcl>info globals
newBody tcl_rcFileName tcl_version argv0 argv tcl_interactive platformcap ClientServerMode auto_oldpath auto_path errorCode errorInfo platformcapdb auto_execs auto_index HciSiteDir HciRoot auto_pkg_index HciSite env HciProcessesDir tcl_patchLevel gdbmwrapper TfcUccLocations HciMasterSiteDir TCLXENV XtermPath tcl_prompt1 HciMasterSite argc HCI_Default_Encoding localInit _clPriv HciRootDir tclx_library tcl_library tcl_platform

What I am after is not found in the list.  Is there a way to derive the process name a thread is running under?

Use this global variable: HciProcessesDir. The process dir always matches the process name.

What I am returned when calling this variable is the parent directory for all the processes in a site:  

F:/healthvision/cis5.8/integrator/david/exec/processes

I am looking to get the actual process name the thread is running under.

Since the process runs in it’s own directory I can use [file tail [pwd]] to back into the actual process name.

set process [file tail [pwd]]

is the most direct way I know.  The other way I’ve seen it done is:

set process “[lindex [split [pwd] /] end]”

Oops, my bad, HciProcessesDir would not give you what you need. The pwd command is the way to go.
