append - Append to variable
Contents
Description
Append all of the value arguments to the current value of variable varName. If varName does not exist,
it is given a value equal to the concatenation of all the value arguments. If varName indicate an 2
element that does not exist of an array that has a default value set, the concatenation of the default 2
value and all the value arguments will be stored in the array element. The result of this command is the
new value stored in variable varName. This command provides an efficient way to build up long variables
incrementally. For example, “appenda$b” is much more efficient than “seta$a$b” if $a is long.
Example
Building a string of comma-separated numbers piecemeal using a loop.
set var 0
for {set i 1} {$i<=10} {incr i} {
append var "," $i
}
puts $var
# Prints 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10
