ReproducibleScript:
Under tclsh83:
% set s {""}
""
% scan $s {"%[^"]"} t
0
ObservedBehavior:
The %[] format specifier should match 0 or more characters from the set. Under Tcl 8.3b1 it only matches 1 or more.
DesiredBehavior:
Under tclsh82:
% set s {""}
""
% scan $s {"%[^""]} t
1
This is the correct behavior, it was actually 8.2- that had
the non-scanf style behavior. This should have been better
noted in the ChangeLog.
