Hello,
I am trying to do a string search using this a a guide [1] on opensuse 11.x

I a missing .rpm containing the string command as when I run the following command
# string first a 0a23456789abcdef 5
It returns :

If 'string' is not a typo you can use command-not-found to lookup the package that contains it, like this:
cnf string

What .rpm do I need to install that has the string command ?
Thanks Glenn

'string' is a built-in command of the tcl programing language.
http://wiki.tcl.tk/
It can be used in a tcl script or a tcl shell can be opened in a terminal by entering 'tclsh'. The shell prompt will then usually change to a '%' and tcl commands can be executed. Entering 'exit' will close the tcl shell.

Code:

[bash ~]$ tclsh
% string first a 0a23456789abcdef 5
10
% exit
[bash ~]$
