Script Question
(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)

Posted by: TivoChris

Im currently writing a set of scripts to do some batch saving and when I get the program name, if it has more than 1 more is included in {}. Ex. The Matrix is displayed as {The Matrix}. I have been using the test=${test%*:} (an example -obviously not the only one I use), to edit the input of some files. Any way to get rid of the {} from the input? If the solution is more than I few lines I have another solution that Ill use, but Im trying to keep the scripts as small as possible because obviously the Tivo wasnt made to run its software plus a large number of other apps.
Thanks for any help. Oh btw for my batch save, you just enter the object IDs into an input file and my program plays them one after another. Im currently working on the output of the onscreen text but Ill post my files in a week or so. Im also thinking of allowing input from the remote so you wont need to have the shell up after you install it.

Looks like the variable you are using is a TCL list with one element. Instead of something like this:

set Title YourMovieNameVariable

try:

set Title [lindex YourMovieNameVariable 0]
