lappend(n) Tcl Built-In Commands lappend(n) __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________NAMElappend - Append list elements onto a variableSYNOPSISlappend varName ?value value value ...? _________________________________________________________________DESCRIPTIONThis command treats the variable given by varName as a list and appends each of the value arguments to that list as a separate element, with spaces between elements. If varName doesn't exist, it is created as a list with elements given by the value arguments. Lappend is similar to append except that the values are appended as list elements rather than raw text. This command provides a relatively efficient way to build up large lists. For example, ``lappend a $b'' is much more efficient than ``set a [concat $a [list $b]]'' when $a is long.SEE ALSOlist(n), lindex(n), linsert(n), llength(n), lset(n) lsort(n), lrange(n) |KEYWORDSappend, element, list, variable Tcl lappend(n)
