You might try Nagelfar, an extensible syntax checker: http://nagelfar.berlios.de/

Nagelfar can easily find these types of errors, plus you should be able to define syntax for your own commands (as in your previous comment.)

tclsh nagelfar.tcl engtech.tcl Checking file engtech.tcl Line 1: E Wrong number of arguments (5) to "proc" Argument 4 at line 2 Argument 5 at line 2

Comments are warty in Tcl, you would be better off to understand Tcl's syntax conventions, rather than assuming comments work like other languages. See item #10 at: http://wiki.tcl.tk/10259
