NAME

textutil::repeat - Procedures to repeat strings.

SYNOPSIS

package require Tcl 8.2

 

package require textutil::repeat ?0.7?

 

::textutil::repeat::strRepeat text num

 

::textutil::repeat::blank num

 




 


DESCRIPTION

The package textutil::repeat provides commands to generate long strings
  by repeating a shorter string many times.


The complete set of procedures is described below.


  
::textutil::repeat::strRepeat text
    num

  
This command returns a string containing the text
      repeated num times. The repetitions are joined without characters
      between them. A value of num <= 0 causes the command to return
      an empty string.
    
 

     Note: If the Tcl core the package is loaded in provides the command
      string repeat then this command will be implemented in its terms,
      for maximum possible speed. Otherwise a fast implementation in Tcl will be
      used.





  
::textutil::repeat::blank num

  
A convenience command. Returns a string of num
      spaces.
