In some case, if you have a huge number of files (exceeding MAX_ARGS) that match, then the command
ls GL*.csv may behave erroneously:
you may encounter the error message : "arg list too long"
So you would get "Not found" whereas a bunch of such files would exist.
Up to you to see if you want to enforce your code against such case

tag(3tcl) tag(3tcl)
NAME
tag - Manipulate tagged files
SYNOPSIS
tag option ?arg arg ...?
DESCRIPTION
The tag procedure provides a number of options for manipulating tagged files.
COMMANDS
tag readfile filename
Reads the file with the given filename and returns a list where each list element is a tag record, which is represented by a list of
label-value pairs, or label-value-endlabel triples.
The tag header is the first element returned.
tag writefile filename list
Takes a list in the format used internally in tcl programs for tagged data and writes it as a tagged file.
tag extract list tests
Takes a list in tagged format, and a list of conditions, and returns a new list in tagged format which contains those tag records
which match the conditions.
The tests is a list of test items, each of which is a list of the form { labelname condition matchvalue }
The conditions are
== String equals
!= String not equal
<= Less than or equal
-in Is the test value a member of the list given as the matchvalue
-contains
Does the match value contain the test value as a case insensitive substring.
-earlier
Date earlier
-later Date later - dates are in ISO format (yyyy-mm-dd [hh:mm:ss]).
-exists
Does the label exist in this record.
BUGS
tag readfile reads the whole file into memory before turning it into a list. Should be more memory efficient.
The -earlier and -later comparisons require TCL8.3
