Reading line from file - TCL
I Have output of ps -ef in file. while reading from file, it reads one word but i want to read the full line.

Is there any way to set IFS in TCL as we set in Shell.

Thanks

The following peice of code will read and print out the contents of a file line by line:
Code:
set f [open somefile.txt]
while {1} {
    set line [gets $f]
    if {[eof $f]} {
        close $f
        break
    }
    puts "Read line: $line"
}

can you show how do you read currently ?
