There is currently no automatic interpretation of INDEX definitions.
You have to write a small proc to do the trick. There are lots of
possible solutions. Below is a straight forward and a slightly faster,
cryptic solution.
proc foo {i} {
set x ""
foreach n [split $i .] {
append x [format %c $n]
}
return $x
}
proc bar {i} {
regsub -all {\.[0-9]+} ".$i" {%c} f
eval format $f [split $i .]
}
I know, the Tnm extension should provide better support for INDEX
interpretation and conversion, but this will probably not happen too
soon.
