Note that "\." in a tcl string expressed in double quotes is translated by tcl to "." so if you really want the regex engine to see "\." you need to either write "\\." inside the double-quoted string, or use curly brackets as your regex string encloser and then don't use backslashes in front of special tcl characters.

Either

...

livecheck.regex "Bazaar (\[0-9\]+\\.\[0-9\]+) was released"

or

...

livecheck.regex {Bazaar ([0-9]+\.[0-9]+) was released}

would be correct.

Thanks Ryan, thats very helpful. I always have problems with regular expressions. Cheers Adam
