Unzip Command in tcl

[LaToya Butler]

I attempting to create a tcl proc that unzips a file in a certain directory.  Here’s the code.

proc rac_837_unzip2 { args } {

  global HciSiteDir

  echo “HCISITEDIR=>$HciSiteDir<" set test_dir “$HciSiteDir/data/ssi_837_cl” echo ” TEST DIRECTORY IS ” $test_dir exec cd $test_dir exec unzip 837.zip } I have a upoc thread setup using advance scheduling.  I keep receiving an error:  unzip:  cannot find or open 837.zip, 837.zip.zip or 837.zip.ZIP.’ The 837.zip files does exists in that directory.  Any suggestions?

Change “exec cd” to “cd”, otherwise the cd command only affects the shell that is started by the exec command, and that shell goes away after the command completes.
