NAME    [Toc]    [Back]

     split - Split a string into a proper Tcl list

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

     split string ?splitChars?

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

     Returns a list created by splitting string	at each	character that is in
     the splitChars argument.  Each element of the result list will consist of
     the characters from string	that lie between instances of the characters
     in	splitChars.  Empty list	elements will be generated if string contains
     adjacent characters in splitChars,	or if the first	or last	character of
     string is in splitChars.  If splitChars is	an empty string	then each
     character of string becomes a separate element of the result list.
     SplitChars	defaults to the	standard white-space characters.  For example,

	  split	"comp.unix.misc" .

     returns "comp unix	misc" and

	  split	"Hello world" {}

     returns "H	e l l o	{ } w o	r l d".
