Making the TCL Shell More Useful (tclreadline)

Date April 9, 2008 by Isaac

One of the greatest things about being a test engineer is that I get to delve into a little bit of everything. At work I use a handful of different languages to accomplish different tasks. Up until recently TCL programming has been a thorn in my side. I love the interactive Python shell ipython and sorely miss having the same thing in TCL. Just today I found tclreadline, which adds command history and tab completion to the TCL shell. This is definitely something to add to your superhero tool belt.
