"select" function sequence
Hi folks,
As we all know, the "select" function give a number to each element as the number of elements in the select.
for example:
I have a program which ask a user to select a language:
===============================================================================
Please select the primary language
===============================================================================
1) Arabic 6) Hebrew 11) Portuguese
2) Chinese 7) Indic 12) Russian
3) French 8) Italian 13) Spanish
4) German 9) Japanese 14) Other
5) Greek 10) Korean 15) Quit language menu
The select has 15 elements and therefore,the select gives a number from 1 to 15 to each element.
My question is:
I want to assign the number "99" to the option "Quit language menu".
Is it possible?
Is it possible to influence on the select sequence that if i have n elements in the select ,and i want to add a new element ,the next element (n+1) won't get the number (n+1)?
Thanks in advance.
Nir

lrange(n) Tcl Built-In Commands lrange(n)
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
NAME
lrange - Return one or more adjacent elements from a list
SYNOPSIS
lrange list first last
_________________________________________________________________
DESCRIPTION
List must be a valid Tcl list. This command will return a new list consisting of elements first through last, inclusive. The index values |
first and last are interpreted the same as index values for the command string index, supporting simple index arithmetic and indices rela- |
tive to the end of the list. If first is less than zero, it is treated as if it were zero. If last is greater than or equal to the number
of elements in the list, then it is treated as if it were end. If first is greater than last then an empty string is returned. Note:
"lrange list first first" does not always produce the same result as "lindex list first" (although it often does for simple fields that are
not enclosed in braces); it does, however, produce exactly the same results as "list [lindex list first]"
EXAMPLES
Selecting the first two elements:
% lrange {a b c d e} 0 1
a b
Selecting the last three elements:
% lrange {a b c d e} end-2 end
c d e
Selecting everything except the first and last element:
% lrange {a b c d e} 1 end-1
b c d
Selecting a single element with lrange is not the same as doing so with lindex:
% set var {some {elements to} select}
some {elements to} select
% lindex $var 1
elements to
% lrange $var 1 1
{elements to}
