Question on TCL regexp and match
Hello everyone,
I'm new in tcl scripting.
I'm currently studying a tcl script and came across this line:
regexp {(\d+)(\S?)} $opts match opt swi
According to my understanding, this line means to search in the opts variable for one or more digit, followed by a non-whitespace character (if the non-whitespace character exists). The matched pattern will then copied into the opt variable.
Is my understanding is correct?
How about the swi? What does it do?
Please help. Thanks
