lappend(n) Tcl Built-In Commands lappend(n)


lappend - Append list elements onto a variable

lappend varName ?value value value ...?

This command treats the variable given by varName as a list and appends each of the value arguments to that list as a separate element, with spaces between elements. If varName does not exist, it is created as a list with elements given by the value arguments. Lappend is similar to append except that the values are appended as list elements rather than raw text. This command provides a relatively efficient way to build up large lists. For example, “lappend a $b” is much more efficient than “set a [concat $a [list $b]]” when $a is long.

Using lappend to build up a list of numbers.
