I’m trying to split the following string : Groups/Group#1.rpt to get only the word Group#1.rpt using tcl ; I did the following but the output was empty :
set verifyFile "Groups/Group#1.rpt" set verify_file_name [echo $verifyFile |cut -d "/" -f 2]

This is a job for a specific built-in: file tail
!
set verify_file_name [file tail $verifyFile]
Don’t use string manipulation directly for this; there are some complex nuances on different platforms. This command handles all the tricky edge cases for you.
