Writing a File

puts command is used to write to an open file.

puts $filename "text to write"

A simple example for writing to a file is shown below.

#!/usr/bin/tclsh
set fp [open "input.txt" w+]
puts $fp "test"
close $fp

Reading a File

set file_data [read $fp]

#!/usr/bin/tclsh
set fp [open "input.txt" w+]
puts $fp "test"
close $fp
set fp [open "input.txt" r]
set file_data [read $fp]
puts $file_data
close $fp

The "regexp" command is4 used to match a regular
expression in Tcl. A regular expression is a sequence of
characters that contains a search pattern. It consists of
multiple rules and the following table explains these rules
and corresponding use.
