lrange

NAME

lrange - Return one or more adjacent elements from a list

SYNOPSIS

lrangelist first last

DESCRIPTION

List must be a valid Tcl list. This command will return a new list consisting of elements first through last, inclusive. First or last may be end (or any abbreviation of it) to refer to the last element of the list. If first is less than zero, it is treated as if it were zero. If last is greater than or equal to the number of elements in the list, then it is treated as if it were end. If first is greater than last then an empty string is returned. Note: ``lrangelist first first'' does not always produce the same result as ``lindexlist first'' (although it often does for simple fields that aren't enclosed in braces); it does, however, produce exactly the same results as ``list [lindexlist first]''
