${parameter#pattern}
${parameter##pattern}
If the shell pattern matches the beginning of
the value of parameter, the value of this
substitution is the value of the parameter
with the matched portion deleted; otherwise
the value of this parameter substituted. In
the former case, the smallest matching
pattern is deleted; in the latter case, the
largest matching pattern is deleted.
${parameter%pattern}
${parameter%%pattern}
If the shell pattern matches the end of the
value of parameter, the value of parameter
with the matched part is deleted; otherwise
substitute the value of parameter. In the
former, the smallest matching pattern is
deleted; in the latter, the largest matching
pattern is deleted.
woofie,
Your posts are being deleted because your use of profanity.
I am close to changing your status to read only.

tcl_stringmatch
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
