Code: 

set mylameregexp "blah blah($somevarIwanttoGrep) blah"regexp $mylameregexp $varIamGrepping match myvar
But WON'T work with:

Code: 

regexp {blah blah ($somevarIwanttoGrep) blah} $varIamGrepping match myvar
yes I realize that the $ is supposed to indicate an end of line, but then, why does $mylameregexp work? Nevermind, I think I know the answer :P


Trying to set certain patterns in vars is itself an exercise in creative kludging...
