Hi Dirk, try :
% source my_script.tcl
where you script is in the 'my_script.tcl' file
Hope this helps,

How to run Tcl/Tk scripts with windows ? Hi, I've been tinkering with Tcl/Tk under *N*X variants and want to be able to run them on MS-Windows. I got the win41a2.exe and w32s125.exe and installed them. How do I run a Tcl/Tk script ? When I click on the wish icon, I get a console window, into which I can type commands, but I don't want to type in 100's of lines :-). I tried giving it the name of a file containing the script, but it didn't like that. From a MS-DOS window, I tried wish41.exe filename.tcl, but it said wish41 had to be run in win32. So, how do you run Tcl/Tk script files on Windows ? Thanks for any help,
Dirk

Try "source filename"

Also, use filemanager and double click on filename.tcl. You first need to set up the "Association" for ".tcl" with wish41.exe. Also, although I haven't tried it, you should be able to have an icon in
a program group and set the command line property to "wish41.exe filename.tcl"
(use the complete path of wish41). Try this by _copying_ the supplied
"wish" icon. Use File/Properties to change the icon name and command line.

How to run Tcl/Tk scripts with windows ? Create an icon on the program manager. Set its working directory to the
directory containing the tcl file. Set its command line to (wish
path)\wish41.exe filename. This works in 3.1 but in 95 the command line
for an icon does not want to take parameters. I stumped on how to run a
script in 95. Also when I run an app in 3.1 it opens a window and
displays the tk widgets but they don't work, are you having this problem
too?

I had the same problem. I think its becase windows does not provide the -f parameter that the wish executable requires in order to source the script.. i.e. wish -f myscript.tcl from the command line will work but if you double click on a tcl script that has been associated with a wish then in effect windows is building the command line... wish myscript.tcl. To get around this (In windows 95) I keep a copy of the wish executable on the desk top and drag and drop the tcl script on to it. Brian O'Brien.

Take a look at the "widget tour" shortcut that is created by the binary release installer. It runs wish with a script as an argument. You should also be able to associate wish with .tcl files. Watch out for files with spaces in the name. You need to put quotes (")
around those names or wish will try to interpret them as multiple
arguments.
