append(3tcl) Tcl Built-In Commands append(3tcl) 





NAME


append - Append to variable






SYNOPSIS


append varName ?value value value ...?








DESCRIPTION


Append all of the value arguments to the current value of
    variable varName. If varName does not exist, it is given a
    value equal to the concatenation of all the value arguments. The
    result of this command is the new value stored in variable varName.
    This command provides an efficient way to build up long variables
    incrementally. For example, “append a $b” is much more
    efficient than “set a $a$b” if $a is long.






EXAMPLE


Building a string of comma-separated numbers piecemeal using a
    loop.






set var 0
for {set i 1} {$i<=10} {incr i} {


    append var "," $i
}
puts $var
# Prints 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10
