Someone has got to have figured out how to use \ escaping in tcl scripts since Tcl has been around a long time, and is generally used on UNIX systems. Anyone know of some examples that do this?
Here's one way, out of several possible:
Use doublequotes around the string, and prepend a backslash to the following characters: doublequote, backslash, dollar, openbracket, closebracket, openbrace, closebrace, and that's all.
If not using enclosing doublequotes, you also need to prepend a backslash to: space, newline, semicolon.
I hope I'm not missing any, but it would be difficult to do so, because Tcl's syntax is so simple it's almost like LISP (a lame LISP, but still...)
