This language is tcl I take it, which I have no experience with.

Is this acceptable in my testing:
puts "+++++++OTHER DEBUG: worksrcdir: ${worksrcdir}"

Seems to work like print or echo, I could not get the example posted to this list to work: *You can "ui_info ${worksrcpath}" or "return -code error $ {worksrcpath}" for example.*

The old portfile had this line in it:
set assp_base   ${prefix}/var/assp

If that is just setting a variable as I suspect it is, why, and what is later needing it, how does it now since it is prepended with 'assp_' which is specific to this portfile.

For some reason, someone in the past decided it was a good idea to remove mac line endings. While I am not sure it is needed now, for 5 lines or so, it probably can not hurt. Is there a way to do this recursively? There are alerady a ton of new files, I would like to recursively hit .htm, .dat. and .txt and be done with it:

pre-patch {
foreach file [glob -directory ${worksrcpath} *.pl *.sh docs/*.htm *.txt rc/*.dat] {
                reinplace "s%\r%%" $file
        }
}

In the past, we had this issue where no one knew why they were removing the spaces from the file name, and I am about to do the same, as I can not get it to work.

Here is the error message, right where the first space in the file name is
DEBUG: cp: /tmp/Legacy: No such file or directory

#configure {
#       reinplace "s%^#!.*perl%#![binaryInPath perl]%" \
#               ${worksrcpath}/assp.pl \
#               ${worksrcpath}/move2num.pl \
#               ${worksrcpath}/rebuildspamdb.pl \
#               ${worksrcpath}/repair.pl \
#               ${worksrcpath}/stat.pl
#       reinplace "s%/usr/local/assp%${assp_base}%" \
#               ${worksrcpath}/docs/Legacy - ASSP Documentation.htm \
#               ${worksrcpath}/stats.sh \
#               ${worksrcpath}/assp.pl \
#               ${worksrcpath}/rc/assp.dat \
#               ${worksrcpath}/rc/start.dat \
#               ${worksrcpath}/rc/stop.dat
#       reinplace "s%/usr/local%${prefix}%" \
#               ${worksrcpath}/Legacy - ASSP Documentation.htm
#}

So, I have tried quotes, and escapes, so far, no luck.

Does tcl not have a multi line comment?

Thanks, I will start working on the other suggestions. Sorry about this learning curve I am on here.
