Infix operator for [string] comparison inside [expr]. Returns true if its arguments are not [string]-equal.

Its opposite part is [eq], which returns true if its arguments are string-equal.

Differs from [!=] in such that its arguments cannot be treated as numerical values, so 1 != 1.0 returns false, but 1 ne 1.0 returns true.

Example:

 % expr {"a" eq "b"}
 0
 % expr {"a" ne "b"}
 1
 %
 % expr {"1" eq "1.0"}
 0
 % expr {"1" == "1.0"}
 1

Also comparing text with '''ne''' is faster than '''!='''.
