Tcl error (cannot read $ properly in Window 2003)

[Wilson Wat]

We are using CL 5.5 and Window 2003. when I used the TestingTools for the following tcl command, it works. The PDF file was copied to the right directory in a image server. but when I ran it through to the interface engine, it errorred out in the error database as follows:

‘BIOTRONIK_ORU.xlt’ failed: Tcl callout error

erroCode: POSIX EINVAL {invalid argument}

errorInfo:

can’t create directory “//ccpkryptiqims/Documents$”: invalid argument

   while executing

“file mkdir $pdfdir”

Engine idle — 07/27/2009 16:41:17

Can anyone help?  

Thanks,

Here is some more info on Wilson’s issue:

Code:

set seq [format “%05d” $seqnum]

#set pdfdir “//ccpkryptiqims/Documents$/test/$year/$month/$lname1/$lname2”

set pdfdir “//ccpkryptiqims/Documents$/test/$year/$month/$lname1/$lname2”

set pdfdir1 “//ccpkryptiqims/Documents/test/$year/$month/$lname1/$lname2”

if {![file exists $pdfdir]} {

file mkdir $pdfdir

}

When I ran the test file in the testing tool, it created the directory and the pdf was copied to proper place.

I am not on Windows and rarely work with these sorts of shares, so it’s been difficult for me to re-create the scenario. I suspect that it has something to do with escaping the $ sign in the path.

I suggested trying \$ and \\$.
