Tcl Built-In Commands concat(1T)
_________________________________________________________________
NAME
concat - Join lists together
SYNOPSIS
concat ?arg arg ...?
_________________________________________________________________
DESCRIPTION
This command joins each of its arguments together withspaces after trimming leading and trailing white-space from
each of them. If all the arguments are lists, this has thesame effect as concatenating them into a single list. It
permits any number of arguments; if no args are supplied, the result is an empty string.EXAMPLES
Although concat will concatenate lists (so the command:
concat a b {c d e} {f {g h}}
will return "a b c d e f {g h}" as its result), it will alsoconcatenate things that are not lists, and hence the com-
mand:concat " a b {c " d " e} f"
will return "a b {c d e} f" as its result.Note that the concatenation does not remove spaces from the
middle of its arguments, so the command:concat "a b c" { d e f }
will return "a b c d e f" (i.e. with three spaces between the a, the b and the c).SEE ALSO
