RTL Compiler functions with regexp

menime54

I am trying to use the get_libs command with a regular expression.  The following is returning an error for me as the regular expression is not working.  It is trying to evaluate [sft] instead of using it in the regular expression.  How do I write this line of code to work properly?

[get_libs -regexp "scs8ls_[sft][sft]_.*"]

rc:/> [get_libs -regexp "scs8ls_[sft][sft]_.*"]  
invalid command name "sft"

Thanks,


Stephanie

    Hi Stephanie,

    this is standard TCL behavior. If enclosed in double-quotes, you will need to escape the [] characters. In general regexps can be expensive to use in tools. They are extremely useful indeed but sometimes there are better alternatives in terms of performance
