Public bug reported: Binary package hint: tcl8.5
This bug is reported upstream as: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=2710920&group_id=10894&atid=110894 In a specific scenario involving [glob] with a trailing slash, the resulting files are treated improperly by [file tail]. An attached script, which can be run by $ tclsh fff.tcl Expected output: /bin/ /bin Actual output: /bin/ {} ("bin" can be another directory name such as "mnt" or "etc"; it depends on the order of directories returned by [glob]. The important thing is that [file tail] returns an empty string when it should return a non- empty one) In my application, the only observed consequence of this bug is to display an empty string onscreen where a directory name should be shown, but if the result of [file tail] is used to decide on a file to use for input or output, this bug could change the file actually being opened. ** Affects: tcl8.5 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- [glob] + [file tail] gives wrong result https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/348740 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
