Running tcl Script from other directory while script refer to a local file

Question

There are two or more scripts.
Script A

#Script A
setenv K1 V1

Script B

#Script B
source "script A"
# some code

When I run script B from its location its work fine.
But I need to run it from some other location like:
_> /some/other/location/ # tclsh pathtoscriptB/script.tcl

It giving error
couldn't read file "script A": no such file or directory.

Note : Location of script can be changed according to user who use it.

Did you try something like source "$pathtoscriptA/script.tcl"? — Jerry

We do not know at which path user store these scripts. We only know that both script are at same location .. — Abhinesh

lets Suppose Script stored at A/B/C/scriptB.tcl <br> But we may run it from path A/D/E/ — Abhinesh

Then scriptA will be in the same location according to your previous comment, right? — Jerry

Try the technique given at the end of page http://wiki.tcl.tk/1384 - adapted for this case, script B would do:

source [file join [file dirname [info script]] "script A"]
