That was one thing to change, the other is what Cucumber said hehe. You have your arguments mixed up for string match.

Thanks for that stdragon. I missed it. but code still doesnt work.
It doesnt give out any errors but it doesnt unbind!!!

this is what we have.

Code:

foreach binding [binds] { set bindtype [lindex $binding 0] set bindattr [lindex $binding 1] set bindname [lindex $binding 2] set bindhits [lindex $binding 3] set bindproc [lindex $binding 4] if {[string match [string tolower $bindproc] [string tolower msg_*]]} { unbind $bindtype $bindattr $bindname $bindproc }}

Except he's trying to do wildcard matching, so string equal won't work.

Commy, the other problem is that it sounds like you want to match the proc name (msg_*) but the code currently matches bind type (msg, msgm, pub, etc). So you have two things to change.

Instead of using two "string tolower" in a "string match" better use "string equal -nocase" directly. Example:
if {[string equal -nocase $foo $bar]} { # do something }

Howdy,

i think you've got your string match params switched. it should be [string match pattern string] and it seems you have [string match string pattern]

also change msg to msg* in your pattern

Help With Wildcards In a loop.

2004-02-20T09:34:02-04:00

This is my problem.

Code:

foreach binding [binds] {set bindtype [lindex $binding 0]set bindattr [lindex $binding 1]set bindname [lindex $binding 2]set bindhits [lindex $binding 3]set bindproc [lindex $binding 4]if {[string match [string tolower $bindtype] [string tolower msg]]} {unbind $bindtype $bindattr $bindname $bindproc }}

Where it says [string tolower msg] I want to change msg into
msg_* but it doesnt work.

Can you help me find this?
Basically i want something to select every bind that has a msg_ proc.

Thanks
