Re: Having problem with SPLIT

I am trying to embed a tab character into a line that gets emailed to a
report generator.  Upon receipt of the email, I go through each line of it
with split since in the past emails have arrived with unbalanced braces
which then caused problems.

The line I send is, \tHeader with a tab.  After the split I get, {\tHeader}
with a tab.  Another line sent without a tab, Header Without a tab, is
unaffected.  What I want is the final line that gets passed to "puts
$reportFile" to be "\tHeader with a tab", but I cannot get rid of the curly
braces.  I know this is my problem but I have run out of ideas.

Thanks.



split returns a list, so maybe you need to do "puts [lindex $resultOfSplit 0]" to get your header? It's hard to say without seeing your actual code. Textual descriptions of code rarely describe the problem accurately.
