Unable to write/create a file through TCL command

[ahuamancayo]

Hello Everyone!

I'm trying to create/write a file in bootflash: through a script and It fails... I tried to run the command directly in the TCLSH interpreter but I get this message:

N7K-CORE# tclsh
N7K-CORE-tcl# open bootflash:///clock.log "a+"
couldn't open "bootflash:///clock.log": no such file or directory
N7K-CORE-tcl# open bootflash://clock.log "a+"
couldn't open "bootflash://clock.log": no such file or directory
N7K-CORE-tcl# open bootflash:/clock.log "a+"
couldn't open "bootflash:/clock.log": no such file or directory

Any thoughts?

Thanks in advance.

Can you able to read the file :  (it is 0 size ?)

show file  bootflash://clock.log

Hi, yeah, it's empty beacause the original message was like "there's not such file", so I thought maybe it need the file to already exists so I created empty...

Now, I've just uploaded a new file with some content and yes I can read it:

N7K-CORE# show file bootflash:clock.log
Sample Text
working on it...
N7K-CORE# 

I tried the same tests and I aaded the last line, so I thought it works without slashes: 

N7K-CORE-tcl# open bootflash:///clock.log "a+"
couldn't open "bootflash:///clock.log": no such file or directory
N7K-CORE-tcl# open bootflash://clock.log "a+"
couldn't open "bootflash://clock.log": no such file or directory
N7K-CORE-tcl# open bootflash:/clock.log "a+"
couldn't open "bootflash:/clock.log": no such file or directory
N7K-CORE-tcl# open bootflash:clock.log "a+"
file37
N7K-CORE-tcl# 

I tried again writing in the file without the slashes but It's waiting for an integer... I tried the integer and it didn't write anything:

N7K-CORE-tcl# open bootflash:clock.log "a+" {
> "insert new line here"
> }
expected integer but got "
"insert new line here"
"
N7K-CORE-tcl# open bootflash:clock.log "a+" {
> 256
> }
file38
N7K-CORE-tcl# exit
N7K-CORE# show file bootflash:clock.log
Sample Text
working on it...
N7K-CORE1# 

Any other idea? Anyway, thanks for your time
