Ok, in tclsh I can
% set x 1
1
% set y "you are the $x!"
you are the 1!
% subst {$y}
you are the 1!
% set y
you are the 1!
This works but so does set, but within
my tcl program and using this format:
<p>[subst $y]
No substitution is done...
And I want to avoid David's solution <%=$first_names%> because
I want "mere users" to be able to enter a few variables
in a text string that gets stored in the db and later
select and substitute with the current value of, for instance $name. in the string to render on the page.... (clear?)
