lappend varName ?value value value ...?
lappend(1t) Tcl Built-In Commands lappend(1t) ______________________________________________________________________________ NAME lappend - Append list elements onto a variable SYNOPSIS lappend varName ?value value value ...? ______________________________________________________________________________ DESCRIPTION This command treats the variable given by varName as a list and appends each of the value arguments to that list as a separate element, with spaces between elements. If varName does not exist, it is created as a list with elements given by the value arguments. Lappend is similar to append except that the values are appended as list elements rather than raw text. This command provides a relatively efficient way to build up large lists. For example, "lappend a $b" is much more efficient than "set a [concat $a [list $b]]" when $a is long. EXAMPLE Using lappend to build up a list of numbers. % set var 1 1 % lappend var 2 1 2 % lappend var 3 4 5 1 2 3 4 5 ATTRIBUTES See attributes(7) for descriptions of the following attributes: +---------------+------------------+ |ATTRIBUTE TYPE | ATTRIBUTE VALUE | +---------------+------------------+ |Availability | runtime/tcl-8 | +---------------+------------------+ |Stability | Uncommitted | +---------------+------------------+ SEE ALSO list(n), lindex(n), linsert(n), llength(n), lset(n), lsort(n), lrange(n) KEYWORDS append, element, list, variable NOTES Source code for open source software components in Oracle Solaris can be found at https://www.oracle.com/downloads/opensource/solaris-source- code-downloads.html.
