| 16 | .SH SYNOPSIS |
---|
| 17 | \fBappend \fIvarName \fR?\fIvalue value value ...\fR? |
---|
| 18 | .BE |
---|
| 19 | |
---|
| 20 | .SH DESCRIPTION |
---|
| 21 | .PP |
---|
| 22 | Append all of the \fIvalue\fR arguments to the current value |
---|
| 23 | of variable \fIvarName\fR. If \fIvarName\fR does not exist, |
---|
| 24 | it is given a value equal to the concatenation of all the |
---|
| 25 | \fIvalue\fR arguments. |
---|
| 26 | The result of this command is the new value stored in variable |
---|
| 27 | \fIvarName\fR. |
---|
| 28 | This command provides an efficient way to build up long |
---|
| 29 | variables incrementally. |
---|
| 30 | For example, |
---|
| 31 | .QW "\fBappend a $b\fR" |
---|
| 32 | is much more efficient than |
---|
| 33 | .QW "\fBset a $a$b\fR" |
---|
| 34 | if \fB$a\fR is long. |
---|
| 35 | .SH EXAMPLE |
---|
| 36 | Building a string of comma-separated numbers piecemeal using a loop. |
---|
| 37 | .CS |
---|
| 38 | set var 0 |
---|
| 39 | for {set i 1} {$i<=10} {incr i} { |
---|
| 40 | \fBappend\fR var "," $i |
---|
| 41 | } |
---|
| 42 | puts $var |
---|
| 43 | # Prints 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10 |
