The Tcl manual gives more than enough information. You simply have to cross referance to other material, to understand the definition of som things.
IE, it asks for a "list", so you look at the list command to see what is going on.
lrange, lindex, lsort, list, lappend and lsearch are all list commands. SO long as you know what is a list, and what isn't, you should know when to use them.
The clock command doesn't need examples wither, and most of it is self explanitory. However, ti does give detailed information on this in the Tcl manual.
Working with file in Tcl, is no different to working with files on the shell. However, with a script, you are blind (IE, if it's automated, and designed to rename, delete, copy or move files, you can't allways see what action is taking place).
HTTP connection are pretty simple too. SO long as the package is loaded, you pass it a URL, obtain a HTTP_ID and you can get all the data you need. There are a few advanced commands, to format query strings correctly, and some stuff to help create non-blocking script (IE - the bto won't timeout). The only thing you need to watch our for, is that you clean up after yoru script, otherwise you end up with a lot of wasted memory being eaten by your bot.
Http and file command are the hardest out of the lot above, and if there are any specific questions abotut hem (most of you own have been about whole sections), feel free to ask.Statistics: Posted by ppslim — Tue Feb 11, 2003 3:08 pm
