NAME    [Toc]    [Back]

     lindex - Retrieve an element from a list

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

     lindex list index

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

     This command treats list as a Tcl list and	returns	the index'th element
     from it (0	refers to the first element of the list).  In extracting the
     element, lindex observes the same rules concerning	braces and quotes and
     backslashes as the	Tcl command interpreter; however, variable
     substitution and command substitution do not occur.  If index is negative
     or	greater	than or	equal to the number of elements	in value, then an
     empty string is returned.	If index has the value end, it refers to the  |
     last element in the list.

KEYWORDS    [Toc]    [Back]
