timer id within namespace problem

[pnp]

Maybe its just late, I've been up too long, ran out of caffiene long ago, but I can't for the life of me figure out what's going wrong.

I've been trying to setup a timer to execute a proc within my namespace and assign the timer id to tmrid so I can kill the timer later.

Code: Select all

set tmrid [ timer 15 [[namespace current]::compare_cache forum] ]

I'm thinking its a problem with [namespace current], because if I try to set the timer without trying to get the timer id the script will die and I don't understand why.

Extra [ ], or missing "list" maybe?

Try this:

Code: Select all

set tmrid [list timer 15 [namespace current]::compare_cache forum]

***
There was an extra bracket as stdragon mentioned.
It should work with the list command.

set tmrid [list timer 15 [namespace current]::compare_cache forum]

[list ... is in the wrong place, this will simply set the variable "tmrid" to a list of text.....
