Re: Variable naming

Hello all,

Is slash (/) allowed in variable names? I'm reading a tutorial on the NS2 simulator, and it appears to be using slashes in class names:

set tcp [new Agent/TCP]

Others have mentioned how to get slashes into variables names. However, that "Agent/TCP" is not a variable name ("tcp" is the variable name) -- it is the name of a class in whatever object system NS2 uses. As far as Tcl is concerned, this name is just a string and can contain pretty much any character.
