reinplace - how to escape \. ?

[Darren Weber]

For a regular sed on the following, the last example is what is required:

[ root at X /ports/graphics/InsightToolkit ]# cat tmp.txt
PREFIX/lib/InsightToolkit
"${dir}/../lib/InsightToolkit"
[ root at X /ports/graphics/InsightToolkit ]# cat tmp.txt | sed -e
's|../lib/InsightToolkit|../lib/InsightToolkit-3.12|g'
PREF../lib/InsightToolkit-3.12
"${dir}/../lib/InsightToolkit-3.12"
[ root at X /ports/graphics/InsightToolkit ]# cat tmp.txt | sed -e
's|\.\./lib/InsightToolkit|\.\./lib/InsightToolkit-3.12|g'
PREFIX/lib/InsightToolkit
"${dir}/../lib/InsightToolkit-3.12"

However, when the \. is used in reinplace for a Portfile, e.g.:

reinplace "s|\.\./lib/${name}|\.\./lib/${distname}|g"}
${destroot}${findITKbranch}

The result is the same as the second example above (i.e. PREFIX becomes
PREF..).

I also tried this:

reinplace {"s|[.][.]/lib/${name}|[.][.]/lib/${distname}|g"}
${destroot}${findITKbranch}

That doesn't work.  I don't understand how this is parsed through the tcl
and port parsers.  How would you do it?

Take care,
Darren
