Parameter Expansion
The `$' character introduces parameter expansion, command substitution, or arithmetic expansion.

.
${parameter%word}
${parameter%%word}
Remove matching suffix pattern. The word is expanded to produce a pattern just as in pathname expansion. If the pattern matches a trailing portion of the
expanded value of parameter, then the result of the expansion is the expanded value of parameter with the shortest matching pattern (the ``%'' case) or the
longest matching pattern (the ``%%'' case) deleted.

tcl_stringcasematch
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
