hi when reading from a *.plist file in tcl, if the value asked is an array, I get a string:
if {![catch {exec defaults read org.puredata $akey} arr]} { puts $arr }
// this string is printed ( "foo", "bar" )
is there any elegant way to get this array as a tcl list directly ?
cheers, _y

Some Tcl regsub tricks seem to work pretty well, see attachment.

hey thanks it might be a bit slower than [string map] but it handles better special chars in filenames

I should have been working on something else, but I couldn't stop. Hope this helps:
