(criticism accepted graciously) '''- wjk''' ''' Oddball stuff - Querks ''' The example below should not be used - thank you '''Lars H''' for pointing this out and explaining it to me: set foo "this is cool" set bar foo puts [expr $$bar] ---- ''' tcom note''' Excel and tcom code below worked: set EMPTY "" $cells Item $row $column $EMPTY whereas the following did not appear to work for me: $cells Item $row $column "" ---- ''' Personal projects ''' * Build Tcl/TK program for looking at and editing .xls (Excel spreadsheets). * Build Tcl/TK program for creating/building code in one of 4 languages (Java, Python, Tcl and Perl) for text processing. * Build Tcl/TK program to utilize 'dde' - select from list of URLs and display them in 'IE', 'FireFox' or 'Opera'. (too many URLs in my Favorites list). * Build Tcl/TK program to access - search - display mySQL database (meager 46000 recs). * Build Tcl/TK program to encrypt/decrypt data text files via Python (Python Cryptography Toolkit) - DES3 encryption. * Other scripts to learn things by.
