Can I use the same variable name for different scripts?

I think that the utility of the lead :: is essentialy when you use the import/export.
And it might be a little bit faster for the tcl to use the full path (::namespace::procedure) than looking in the namespace for the existence of a sub-namespace and then looking in global.

My guess is that the difference is that in the second the respond proc is inside the MyScript namespace.

Both of them are inside the MyScript namespace (I'm looking at another script that uses the double colons before the MyScript bind). What's interesting is, this script I'm looking at uses global. Here is the script:

Code:

namespace eval magic8ball {variable 8ballCatch "!8ball"proc 8ball {nick host handle channel arg} {  global 8ballCatch  set cmd [string tolower [lindex $arg 0]]  if {[file exists /eggdrop/scripts/8ball.txt]} {    set list [open /eggdrop/scripts/8ball.txt r]    set reply ""    while {![eof $list]} {      set tmp [gets $list]      set reply [lappend test [string trim $tmp]]    }    close $list  }  set number [rand [expr [llength $reply] + 1]]  puthelp "PRIVMSG $channel :8-ball\: [lindex $reply $number]"}bind pub - $8ballCatch ::magic8ball::8ball}

The article says to use

Code:

bind pub - "hi" MyScript::respond

in their example. What is the difference between using this and

Code:

bind pub - "hi" ::MyScript::respond

An Eggdrop bot can have only One Global Variable named txt

Usually txt is used in a proc, and that would be a local variable.
In most cases, local variables do not interfere with global variables.

I am running all scripts on one eggdrop bot. Is it okay for me to use the same variable name if they are in different scripts? For instance, if I have this line in one script:

Code:

set txt [string tolower $txt]

Can I use the same line of code in another script? Or do I have to change

Code:

txt

to something else?
