DESCRIPTION

       The package textutil::repeat provides commands to generate long strings by repeating a shorter string many times.

       The complete set of procedures is described below.

       ::textutil::repeat::strRepeat text num
	      This  command returns a string containing the text repeated num times. The repetitions are joined without characters between them. A
	      value of num <= 0 causes the command to return an empty string.

	      Note: If the Tcl core the package is loaded in provides the command string repeat then this  command  will  be  implemented  in  its
	      terms, for maximum possible speed. Otherwise a fast implementation in Tcl will be used.

       ::textutil::repeat::blank num
	      A convenience command. Returns a string of num spaces.
