[tcljava-user] problem with bracket translation "[ ]"

[militho_sw1 <mil...@mo...>]

we are using a jacl/swank combination, but are having problems with the following:

sendToTcs 0 "set o \[new_Overlay__Orientation\]"

sendToTcs is a proc that takes 2 arguments. Now I want to send "[new_Overlay__Orientation]" exactly.. I do not want a any command evaluation. I tried two \ and that doesn't work either. I also tried:

sendToTcs 0 "set o {[new_Overlay__Orientation]}"

and that doesn't work either.

We are running Jacl 1.4

thanks

Please disregard this. I upgraded to jacl 1.4.1 and the problem is solved.

I am not sure what the cause of this could be. The following two 
commands would pass the exact same string argument:

sendToTcs 0 "set o \[new_Overlay__Orientation\]"

sendToTcs 0 {set o [new_Overlay__Orientation]}
