Re: [Modules] Make set-alias create function instead of alias

[Gretton, L. <lia...@le...>]

Thanks for the explanation.

I'm almost there with this, just having problems passing Tcl variables into the set-function definition.

Our module files define the application path at the start like so:

set ppath     /path/to/apps
set package   app
set version   x.y.z

In set-alias I can just refer to those as so:

set-alias appalias "$ppath/$package/$version/scripts/thing --option"

But in set-function everything within the braces is passed through to the shell literally and the variable values aren't passed:

set-function appalias  { $ppath/$package/$version/scripts/thing --option }

declare -f appalias
appalias ()
{
  $ppath/$package/$version/scripts/thing --option
}

...instead of

declare -f appalias
appalias ()
{
  /path/to/apps/app/x.y.z/scripts/thing --option
}

How can I get those variables declared within the module to be dereferenced in the function definition? This could be just my Tcl-foo being inadequate.

Thanks,

Liam
