Computers resemble lawyers in that if given the slightest opportunity to misinterpret your instructions they probably will. You have to be precise, and learning to be that precise is half the battle.

I am trying to use printf with a character string that is used within a do loop. The problem is that while in the loop, the printf prints the variable name instead of the value. The do loop calls the variable name from a text file (called device.txt):

Tcl_GetTime(3TCL) Tcl Library Procedures Tcl_GetTime(3TCL)
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
NAME
Tcl_GetTime - get date and time
SYNOPSIS
#include <tcl.h>
Tcl_GetTime( timePtr )
ARGUMENTS
Tcl_Time * timePtr (out) Points to memory in which to store the date and time information.
_________________________________________________________________
DESCRIPTION
The Tcl_GetTime function retrieves the current time as a Tcl_Time structure in memory the caller provides. This structure has the follow-
ing definition:
typedef struct Tcl_Time {
long sec;
long usec;
} Tcl_Time;
On return, the sec member of the structure is filled in with the number of seconds that have elapsed since the epoch: the epoch is the
point in time of 00:00 UTC, 1 January 1970. This number does not count leap seconds - an interval of one day advances it by 86400 seconds
regardless of whether a leap second has been inserted.
The usec member of the structure is filled in with the number of microseconds that have elapsed since the start of the second designated by
sec. The Tcl library makes every effort to keep this number as precise as possible, subject to the limitations of the computer system. On
multiprocessor variants of Windows, this number may be limited to the 10- or 20-ms granularity of the system clock. (On single-processor
Windows systems, the usec field is derived from a performance counter and is highly precise.)
