regsub syntax

2009-03-08T16:24:39-04:00

Ah OK, thanks a lot. I get the gist of it now.

I'm going to try just this. Should be OK I expect (now I've seen what isn't in the manual)

Code:

set txt "this is a test (hopefully). We'll see" set txt [regsub -all -- {\(([^)]*)\)} $txt "(\00314\\1\003)"]

Hmm, I just saw your post speechless, perhaps this then

Code:

set txt "this is a test (hopefully). We'll see" set txt [regsub -all -- {\(([^)]*?)\)} $txt "(\00314\\1\003)"]

Anyway. Thanks guys. I can have a play now I know about these replacement functions.

.tcl set txt "this is a test (hopefully). We'll (see) what happens (here)"
Tcl: this is a test (hopefully). We'll (see) what happens (here)
.tcl set txt [regsub -all -- {$(.*?)$} $txt "$\00309\\1\003$"]
Tcl: this is a test (hopefully). We'll (see) what happens (here)

regsub syntax

2009-03-08T15:18:17-04:00

I want to use a single regsub command to colourise text that is inside parenthesis without colourising the parenthesis themselves.

The following would additionally colourise the parenthesis

Code:

set txt "this is a test (hopefully). We'll see"set txt [regsub -all -- {\([^\)]+\)} $txt "\00314&\003"]

The following would work but is two regsub commands

Code:

set txt "this is a test (hopefully). We'll see"set txt [regsub -all -- {\(} $txt "(\00314"]set txt [regsub -all -- {\)} $txt "\003)"]

Is there any regsub syntax that would accomplish my needs?
