When I read this line into my code with:
puts -nonewline $writechan [lrange $line 4 end-1]\tDon't perform list operation on strings (and vice versa).
Try:
puts -nonewline $writechan [lrange [split $line] 4 end-1]\t


Actually, for what he's attempting to do, it's probably better to:

puts -nonewline [string trim [lindex [split $line =] 1]]

1. It's safer for variable whitespace.
2. It's intent is clearer (the right hand side of "=").
