If you are talking in terms of rows and column, then also there is a confusion.
Can you please explain more clearly?
sorry for being so vague. Here is a better example. Input text is the following (where _ is a space and all elements are unique):

1_234
_56_7
8_9_A

Code will ask user what to move:
Code:
echo "What element to move?"
read element

Code will also ask where you want to move (row,column)
Code:
echo "Move element to which cell"
read x y

If desired move space is empty, grant move. So if I wanted to move 8 up one column, the output would look like this:

1_234
856_7
__9_A

Unfortunately, the input text is just a text file, not a table or csv.

I'm sorry if this is still vague.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

NAME
swaplist - A dialog which allows a user to move options between two lists SYNOPSIS
package require Tcl 8.4 package require Tk 8.4 package require swaplist ?0.1? ::swaplist::swaplist pathName variable completeList selectedList ?options? _________________________________________________________________ DESCRIPTION
This package provides a dialog which consists of 2 listboxes, along with buttons to move items between them and reorder the right list. ::swaplist::swaplist pathName variable completeList selectedList ?options? Creates a dialog which presents the user with a pair of listboxes. Items are selected by using the buttons to move them to the right list. The contents of the right list are put in the variable upon closure of the dialog. The command returns a boolean indicating if the user pressed OK or not. If -geometry is not specified, the dialog is centered in its parent toplevel unless its parent is . in which case the dialog is centered in the screen. Options: -embed if this flag is supplied, the procedure will create a swaplist widget named pathName, with the variable set as the listvari- able for the right side listbox. This flag will also cause the -title and -geometry flags to be ignored. -reorder boolean specifying if buttons allowing the user to change the order of the right listbox should appear or not. defaults to true -title sets the title of the dialog window. defaults to "Configuration" -llabel sets the heading above the left list. defaults to "Available:" -rlabel sets the heading above the right list. defaults to "Selected:" -lbuttontext sets the text on the "move left" button. defaults to "<<" -rbuttontext sets the text on the "move right" button. defaults to ">>" -ubuttontext sets the text on the "move up" button. defaults to "Move Up" -dbuttontext sets the text on the "move down" button. defaults to "Move Down" -geometry sets the geometry of the dialog window.
