set site from within tcl

[John Mercogliano]

I’m attempting to run hcidbdump from with in a tcl script against all sites to check the error database for any transactions the previous day.  My question is, how do you set the site from within tcl so that hcidbdump will run correctly.

Thanks,

I use:

eval [exec -keepnewline $HciRootDir/sbin/hcisetenv -site tcl $site]

Thanks Matt, it was exactly what I needed. 😀

Don’t know if anyone has seen this but if you have could someone tell my why this works.

I implemented Matt’s solution using eval and it worked great from with in hcitcl or in a .tcl file when called from the top level but when I tried to call it from a function it would not work.  

I ended up changing eval to uplevel #0 and it worked again. My question would be, why does hcisetenv need to be run from the root proc.

The code sets up the env array, which exists in the root scope.  Inside a proc you need to declare it global.  Did you global env in your proc?

That was it.  It never dawned on me to global env.  I’m used to globaling when I’m interacting directly not indirectly through a system call.
