String map works with literals but not with variables












0















This is the script that I'm running



set input_file [ open $ORIGINAL_TESTS_FILE r ];
set output_file [ open $TESTS_FILE w ];

set CLASS_NAME "RandTest";
set NEW_CLASS_NAME "JuanDeLosPalotes";

while { [gets $input_file line] >= 0 } {
#echo $line
# Replacing string
set line [ string map { "RandTest" "JuanDeLosPalotes" } $line ];
#echo $line
puts $output_file $line
}
close $input_file
close $output_file


This reads a text file and replaces RandTest with JuanDeLosPalotes whereever it finds it.



However, if I replace this line



set line [ string map { "RandTest" "JuanDeLosPalotes" } $line ];


With this line



set line [ string map { $CLASS_NAME $NEW_CLASS_NAME } $line ];


It does not work (line remains unaltered).



What am I doing wrong?

  • Tcl substitution , try set line [ string map { $CLASS_NAME $NEW_CLASS_NAME } $line ] by set line [ string map [list $CLASS_NAME $NEW_CLASS_NAME] $line ]

Fixed it!!!



Curly braces prevent substitution. So I needed to use quotes.



set line [ string map "$CLASS_NAME $NEW_CLASS_NAME" $line ];


I case anyone needs it.

    Better to use [list $CLASS_NAME $NEW_CLASS_NAME].
