Thank you, that worked great. Ya know, most of the time when i see something like that. I understand it. This one, I dont understand it all.

Code:

regsub -all \[:0-9\]{1,} [lrange $text 5 e] "" namecheck

1. why the back slash's? I dont see any escape characters? Or is that because of the enclosure of the search argument in the []'s?
2. What does the {1,} do? That one I have no idea on. Not a clue.

Thank you again, the help was very much appriceated.

is there a better way to do this?

add -all switch to regsub

Code:

regsub -all \[:0-9\]{1,} [lrange $text 5 e] "" namecheck
