Version 6 of tclsh application template

Updated 2013-01-18 21:27:24 by pooryorick

This template code is for starting a typical tclsh application.

#! /bin/sh
# the next line restarts using tclsh \
exec tclsh "$0" ${1+"$@"}

This is a little more sophisticated than the code suggested on the tclsh man page (see tcl), and is explained in great detail on exec magic.

Typical patterns to continue are:

# verify Tcl version requirements
package require Tcl 8.4    ;# My application uses [lset]
# process stdin:
while {[gets stdin line]>=0} {
    #do something with $line
}
# process argv:
foreach arg $argv {
    # do something with $arg
}
