tcl7.6 User Commands - lindex






NAME

     lindex - Retrieve an element from a list


SYNOPSIS

     lindex list index





DESCRIPTION

     This command treats list as  a  Tcl  list  and  returns  the
     index'th  element  from it (0 refers to the first element of
     the list).  In extracting the element, lindex  observes  the
     same  rules  concerning braces and quotes and backslashes as
     the Tcl command interpreter; however, variable  substitution
     and command substitution do not occur.  If index is negative
     or greater than or equal to the number of elements in value,
     then  an  empty  string is returned.  If index has the value
     end, it refers to the last element in the list.
