so you want to check if '*' is anywhere in your string? or only at the beginning?
Code:
if {[string first * $oper 0] >0} {  #this will check if there's at least one '*' in $oper}

seems not to work. I want to test if in the variable $oper is no '*'.

if {![string first * $oper 0] >0} {
#this will check if there's at least no '*' in $oper
}

^^that doesnt't work

OK I have the following

set oper [lindex [split $arg " "] 6]
if {[string match "*" $oper]} {
...
}

So my problem is now I want to test if the * isin the variable oper, but so it get interpreted as any character.
