Tcl script for seaching a string ignoring white spaces

Hi ,

I want to search a string in a file ignoring white spaces in TCL.

My string is as follows

Code:

Ouput-Maps " 1          1           1       0  " 1

i am doing following

Code:

set a [exec grep [ {"Output-Maps[]*1[]*1[]*1[]*0[]* " }1  abc.log}]

but it is not working.
What is the wrong with the tcl script

Thanks
Gouranga
