NAME    [Toc]    [Back]

     lappend - Append list elements onto a variable

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

     lappend varName ?value value value	...?

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

     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 doesn't 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.

KEYWORDS    [Toc]    [Back]
