tcllib 0.8 textutil::repeat(3tcl)
Description
The package textutil::repeat provides commands to generate long strings by repeating a shorter string
many times.
The complete set of procedures is described below.
::textutil::repeat::strRepeattextnum
This command returns a string containing the text repeated num times. The repetitions are joined
without characters between them. A value of num <= 0 causes the command to return an empty string.
Note: If the Tcl core the package is loaded in provides the command stringrepeat then this
command will be implemented in its terms, for maximum possible speed. Otherwise a fast
implementation in Tcl will be used.
::textutil::repeat::blanknum
A convenience command. Returns a string of num spaces.
