unix sh-command in tcl

[sam vick]

Hi,

I want to use (execute) a unix command e.g. 'cp <filename> <dir>' inside the
tcl script. Like in perl, is there any command in tcl that helps running the
unix command from inside the tcl-script.

Thanks in advance.

But, like perl, you'll find that most of what you can do in the shell
you can do in Tcl using Tcl commands.

Such as:

file copy $filename $dir

in this instance.
