How to pass " in arguments

[Rick Pritchett]

Here is the proc I pass the arguments to.  It so far works except for quotes (“)

Here is how i pass the arguments:

{Remove_Character {&}} {Replace_Character {{}}}

any ideas?

proc tps_remove_Character { args } {

   keylget args MODE mode                  ;# Fetch mode

   set dispList {}             ;# Nothing to return

   switch -exact — $mode {

       start {

           # Perform special init functions

       # N.B.: there may or may not be a MSGID key in args

       }

       run {

           # ‘run’ mode always has a MSGID; fetch and process it

           keylget args MSGID mh

           keylget args ARGS.Remove_Character move_Character

 keylget args ARGS.Replace_Character place_Character

 set msg [msgget $mh]

           

           

           set msgHeader [string range $msg 0 7]

           set msgTail [string range $msg 8 end]

           set msgTail [string map “$move_Character $place_Character” $msgTail]

           append newmsg $msgHeader $msgTail        

           msgset $mh $newmsg

           lappend dispList “CONTINUE $mh”

       }

       time {

           # Timer-based processing

       # N.B.: there may or may not be a MSGID key in args

       }

       

       shutdown {

       # Doing some clean-up work

   }

   }

Have you tried preceding your quotes with a backslash?

example:  “”

Here’s how i passed it and the error i got

{Remove_Character {“”}} {Replace_Character {{}}}

QDX_Tcl_SplitList(tps_remove_Character {Remove_Character {) failed — unmatched open brace in list

[Rick Pritchett]

I think i figured it out instead of passing something like ” i used the hex value.

EX.

I was working on it yesterday and attempted to use the hex value for the quote.  I couldn’t get it to work and now realize that I entered the hex value incorrectly.  I’m glad you got it to work.

I was reading somewhere that the braces ({}) and the quotes (“”) are part of the list command syntax.  If elements in a list are surrounded by quotes then the list command changes it to braces.  Maybe that is why the quotes would never work entered as is.
