NAME

       linsert - Insert elements into a list

SYNOPSIS

       linsert list index element ?element element ...?
_________________________________________________________________

DESCRIPTION

       This  command  produces a new list from list by inserting all of the element arguments just before the index'th element of list.  Each ele-
       ment argument will become a separate element of the new list.  If index is less than or equal to zero, then the new elements  are  inserted
       at  the	beginning  of the list.  If index has the value end, or if it is greater than or equal to the number of elements in the list, then
       the new elements are appended to the list.  end-integer refers to the last element in the list minus the specified integer offset.

EXAMPLE

       Putting some values into a list, first indexing from the start and then indexing from the end, and then chaining them together:
	      set oldList {the fox jumps over the dog}
	      set midList [linsert $oldList 1 quick]
	      set newList [linsert $midList end-1 lazy]
	      # The old lists still exist though...
	      set newerList [linsert [linsert $oldList end-1 quick] 1 lazy]

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.  First or last
       may be end (or any abbreviation of it) to refer to the last element 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 aren't 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}
