NAME
       split - Split a string into a proper Tcl list

SYNOPSIS
       split string ?splitChars?
_________________________________________________________________

DESCRIPTION
       Returns a list created by splitting string at each character that is in the splitChars argument.  Each element of the result list will con-
       sist 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  char-
       acters.	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".
