Tcl expects its programs in one of two ways - plain text files or interactively at the console. There are a variety of editors that have been written that have some ideas about the Tcl language - check out http://wiki.tcl.tk/1184 , where a number of them are mentioned. There are likely others not yet listed there... > #. how should i write my 'Hello world' program? Many people just start a tclsh or wish interpreter and type in the lines. Others like to locate a tutorial http://wiki.tcl.tk/17557 or even an interactive tutorial like http://wiki.tcl.tk/1681 . > #. is there any other thing i should know/study about tcl/tk? You should know about three additional invaluable resources: http://www.tcl.tk/ - a small web site with various pointers to other useful resources http://wiki.tcl.tk/ - an site dedicated to all sorts of Tcl related topics http://wiki.tcl.tk/2221 - a page that discusses the Tcl IRC channels, where you can find tcl developers available in "real time" discussions. No guarantee _what_ they will be discussing... but frequently one can ask questions there and get pointers to useful information.

I myself often avoid paths with spaces in them for that very reason. 2. saving files to paths which are specific to a particular piece of software can, at times, lead to forgetting, or even losing, the files if you were to, for instance, uninstall the software before installing a new version, etc. I find it best to establish a path of my own, in a way that it will be guaranteed to be backed up, noticed when moving to a new computer, etc. > FYI:I have saved the "hello.tcl" file in the location "C:\Tcl\bin". > => And, where should i type the command "tclsh hello.tcl".

Generally there is a "path" environment variable, which tells Windows where to look when you are running things. If that variable doesn't contain the folder path where tclsh is installed, then you would get a "tclsh not found" type error. On the other hand, if your tclsh is really installed as tclsh86.exe (or maybe wish858.exe, etc.) then you need to find the name that was installed and use that. > > ill disturb u guys later ;) > I never figure it a disturbance when it is someone making an effort at learning. |
