Pls use code tags as required by forum rules!
a) Protect you script from modifications by either permissions or by shell mechanisnms. You do not mention what shell you are using; e.g. bash provides sth like !(pattern-list) when extended pattern matching is ON by setting the extglob option.
b) Eliminate the two ' from ';' in the middle of your line.

Tcl_StringMatch(3) Tcl Library Procedures Tcl_StringMatch(3)
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
NAME
Tcl_StringMatch, Tcl_StringCaseMatch - test whether a string matches a pattern
SYNOPSIS
#include <tcl.h>
int
Tcl_StringMatch(str, pattern)
int
Tcl_StringCaseMatch(str, pattern, flags)
ARGUMENTS
const char *str (in) String to test.
const char *pattern (in) Pattern to match against string. May contain special characters from the set *?[].
int flags (in) OR-ed combination of match flags, currently only TCL_MATCH_NOCASE. 0 specifies a case-sensitive search.
_________________________________________________________________
DESCRIPTION
This utility procedure determines whether a string matches a given pattern. If it does, then Tcl_StringMatch returns 1. Otherwise
Tcl_StringMatch returns 0. The algorithm used for matching is the same algorithm used in the string match Tcl command and is similar to
the algorithm used by the C-shell for file name matching; see the Tcl manual entry for details.
In Tcl_StringCaseMatch, the algorithm is the same, but you have the option to make the matching case-insensitive. If you choose this (by
passing TCL_MATCH_NOCASE), then the string and pattern are essentially matched in the lower case.
KEYWORDS
match, pattern, string
