tcl7.6 User Commands - split






NAME

     split - Split a string into a proper Tcl list


SYNOPSIS

     split string ?splitChars?





DESCRIPTION

     Returns a list created by splitting string at each character
     that  is  in  the  splitChars argument.  Each element of the
     result list will consist of the characters from string  that
     lie  between  instances  of  the  characters  in splitChars.
     Empty list elements will be  generated  if  string  contains
     adjacent  characters  in splitChars, or if the first or last
     character of string is in splitChars.  If splitChars  is  an
     empty  string  then  each  character  of  string  becomes  a
     separate element of the result list.  SplitChars defaults to
     the standard white-space characters.  For example,
          split "comp.unix.misc" .
     returns "comp unix misc" and
          split "Hello world" {}
     returns "H e l l o { } w o r l d".
