2.13.9. File I/O
Tcl includes commands to read from and write to files. You must open a file before you can read from or write to it, and close it when the read and write operations are done.
To open a file, use the open command; to close a file, use the close command. When you open a file, specify its name and the mode in which to open it. If you do not specify a mode, Tcl defaults to read mode. To write to a file, specify w for write mode.
Open a File for Writing
set output [open myfile.txt w]
Tcl supports other modes, including appending to existing files and reading from and writing to the same file.
The open command returns a file handle to use for read or write access. You can use the puts command to write to a file by specifying a file handle.
Write to a File
set output [open myfile.txt w] puts $output "This text is written to the file." close $output
You can read a file one line at a time with the gets command. The following example uses the gets command to read each line of the file and then prints it out with its line number.
Read from a File
set input [open myfile.txt] set line_num 1 while { [gets $input line] >= 0 } { # Process the line of text here puts "$line_num: $line" incr line_num } close $input
