Wow! Firstly, apologies to listers for sending dud example code - I just
wanted to give readers an idea of the kind of thing I was trying. A vague
idea... I guess I managed to get the vagueness across, but didn't do so well
getting the idea across too. ;-) I guess the frustration was getting to me.
Sorry for that.
Secondly (and more importantly!) countless thanks to Rob Mayoff for his
enlightening reply. I learned more from reading that single email than I've
done from all the programming we've been doing the past month! Rob, if you
were here in Dublin, I'd be taking you out for numerous Guinness to show my
appreciation! Those example procs really opened my eyes to the power of TCL.
Thanks again.
Thanks also to Jim Wilcoxson for pointing out the array solution - it does
look like the way to go. Seeing as we're so in love with the ACS here, we're
going to stick with the namespace fix, but I agree the array solution is
smoother. All I gotta do now is figure out how the clear out the namespace
variables when I'm finished, which calls for a RTFM, I reckon! ;-)
cheers,
Brian
