Or use lsearch -glob for matching wildcards

His wildcards are in the list, not in the part matched against the list...
Something like this might do what he wants:

Code:

switch -glob -- $checkname {*test* -*roger* -*mary* -*merlin* -*polly* -*mandie* {# match}default {# no match}}

Also, since string match will only return 1 or 0, you can simply use

Code:

if {![string match *test* $checkname] && ![string match *roger* $checkname] && ![string match *mary* $checkname] && ![string match *merlin* $checkname] && ![string match *polly* $checkname] && ![string match *mandie* $checkname]} {

Yes.

Code:

set nicknames "name1 name2 name3 name4"if {[lsearch -exact $nicknames $checkname] != -1} {     # named matched} else {     # not matched}Or use lsearch -glob for matching wildcardsif {[lsearch -glob $nicknames *$checkname*] != -1} {     # etc}
