join(1T)						       Tcl Built-In Commands							  join(1T)

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

NAME

       join - Create a string by joining together list elements

SYNOPSIS

       join list ?joinString?
_________________________________________________________________

DESCRIPTION

       The  list  argument  must be a valid Tcl list.  This command returns the string formed by joining all of the elements of list together with
       joinString separating each adjacent pair of elements.  The joinString argument defaults to a space character.

EXAMPLES

       Making a comma-separated list:
	      set data {1 2 3 4 5}
	      join $data ", "
		   => 1, 2, 3, 4, 5

       Using join to flatten a list by a single level:
	      set data {1 {2 3} 4 {5 {6 7} 8}}
	      join $data
		   => 1 2 3 4 5 {6 7} 8
