Tcl question ...

[Peter Danecek]

Hi all,

I have little experience with Tcl, so apologise for this potentially stupid question but I failed to find the answer with some browsing.

So would like to delete some file (as a pre-patch step) to get a clean source directory before the build. When I put the file names all works fine, but I would like to be less verbose, so I am trying something like this:

--- snip ---
[radegast:~/temp/BitArray2D-2.1] petr% tclsh
% glob */*.pyc     
Examples/BitArray2D.pyc Examples/BitVector.pyc TestBitArray2D/BitArray2D.pyc TestBitArray2D/BitVector.pyc TestBitArray2D/TestBooleanLogic.pyc TestBitArray2D/TestComparisonOps.pyc TestBitArray2D/TestConstructors.pyc
% file delete Examples/BitArray2D.pyc Examples/BitVector.pyc 
% glob */*.pyc
TestBitArray2D/BitArray2D.pyc TestBitArray2D/BitVector.pyc TestBitArray2D/TestBooleanLogic.pyc TestBitArray2D/TestComparisonOps.pyc TestBitArray2D/TestConstructors.pyc
% file delete [ glob */*.pyc ]
% glob */*.pyc
TestBitArray2D/BitArray2D.pyc TestBitArray2D/BitVector.pyc TestBitArray2D/TestBooleanLogic.pyc TestBitArray2D/TestComparisonOps.pyc TestBitArray2D/TestConstructors.pyc
--- snap ---

Deleting the files works, globbing seems to work as well, but when I combine these it has no effect. Where is the error?
