TCL - echo

[Brian]

Hi,

Is there a way of writing a message to the TCL Shell window ie echo “Hello world” or puts “Hello World“?

This would make writing TCL scripts easier to debug!

Sorry but need to add more info.

puts "Hello World" does work when typed into the TCL Shell command line.

If you were to paste the below four lines in the command line as a single block, then ONLY the last only will echo

puts "Hello World 01"

puts "Hello World 02"

puts "Hello World 03"

puts "Hello World 04"

‌

Hope that makes sense!!

‌

Many Thanks

Hi Brian,
The TCL Shell will execute one command at one time. The last one.

I just upgraded the Script Editor to be able to Run a batch of commands added in the Script Editor tab window.
The Script Editor can be accessed from File → Scripting → New Script.

I’ve updated the Beta repository. Have a look at the changes and see if there are any issues. Thanks!

Something broke!!

clear

set Tree 0

if {$Tree == 1} {

puts "1 Trees"

} else {

puts "0 Trees"

}

give an error

ERROR: missing close-brace

‌ while executing

"if {$Tree == 1} {"

1 Trees

ERROR: missing close-brace

‌ while executing

"} else {"

0 Trees

ERROR: invalid command name "}"

‌ while executing

"}"

‌

While, this works

clear

set Tree 0

if {$Tree == 1} {puts "1 Trees"} else {puts "0 Trees"}

I made it to evaluate each line. Unfortunately the repeated commands are disregarded otherwise (like puts”a” followed by puts “b” and so on).
I may have to revert or look if the eval() method of the TCL allow somehow repeating the commands.

[Brian]

Same happen even without and puts!

‌

clear

set Tree 1

if {$Tree == 1} {

set Green Yes

} else {

set blue No

}

‌

… sorry, just read your msg again, yes revert it for now.

Thanks, Brian.

Hi Brian,

I have added a new way to process repeating Tcl Commands.
I will update the Beta repo in about one hour.
Please test and tell if there are any other issues.
Thanks,
Marius

OK, repo updated. You can test whenever you have the time.

Solved in one of the latest commits to Beta branch.
