Oh! Thanks @Nicklaus Thompson

Why not just just '`source script.tcl`' ?

haha, I knew there was a way I couldn't figure out! Looked at eval, load, exec... was thinking more C than bash: durp! thanks!

I usually create script files like this:

proc do_something {} {
  ...
  ...
  ...
}

do_something

This way all needed variables are created inside the procedure, not polluting the global namespace. when you source the script file the

do_something

proc is executed.

beautiful: adopted 🙂

@Pat Deegan Additional bonus: if you need to execute the procedure more times you just give the procedure name (

do_something

) not needing to re-read the file. Faster and cleaner.

Yes, that's great. Have found I need to do this if I want to pass params in.
