In a tcl/tk app I am writing I wish to call qiv to run a slideshow. I am
testing this part of the script in both bash and tclsh shells. From a
bash prompt the following work:
(image directory) $ qiv myphoto.jpg displays myphoto
(image directory) $ qiv *.jpg displays a slide show of all jpg files in
the directory
now switch to tclsh with:
(image directory) $ tclsh gives
% still in image directory, next enter
% qiv myphoto.jpg also displays myphoto
but
% qiv *.jpg fails with the msg 'couldnt execute "qiv
*.jpg, no such
file or directory'
Do I need to escape the '*' somehow?
Adding a full or a partial path does start qiv but it fails with no
image.
The most frustrating part of this exercise is that I had it running at
the beginning of the year but lost it when my box crashed. Backups are
wonderful in hindsight!!!
Any ideas please on how to pass the argument for multiple files (*.jpg)
within tclsh.
TIA Barry
