how about

Code:

join [lrange [split ] 0 end-1]

lol, it feels strange not being able to join the forum for 2 weeks or so and then come back for 5 mins just to take a look, as if all the experiance faded

You can use list commands if you are carefull with what you do. Using lindex directly on a string is just BAD. It freaks out with ; {} [] and can lead to security problems.

It can be solved with

Code:

set tokens [split $mystring " "]

now you can use both lindex and lrange safely.

lindex $tokens N
returns word N (starting count from 0)
lrange $tokens start index end index
...

Nice and clean

you can use lrange, for exampe

Code:

lrange  0 end-1

this will return the whole string except the last word.

Hi,
i have a script that gets information from a file, but I dont want to display the last word, how can i go about cutting that last word out?

like mIRC could use the $gettok() using chr 32 (space) as the ident chr
there is only 2 spaces and its the last on that i want to remove, any help would be good

cheers
