split(3Tcl)

NAME
     split - Split a string into a proper Tcl list

SYNOPSIS
     split string ?splitChars?


DESCRIPTION
     Returns a list created by splitting string at each character that is in
     the splitChars argument.  Each element of the result list will consist of
     the characters from string that lie between instances of the characters
     in splitChars.  Empty list elements will be generated if string contains
     adjacent characters in splitChars, or if the first or last character of
     string is in splitChars.  If splitChars is an empty string then each
     character of string becomes a separate element of the result list.
     SplitChars defaults to the standard white-space characters.  For example,

          split "comp.unix.misc" .

     returns "comp unix misc" and

          split "Hello world" {}

     returns "H e l l o { } w o r l d".
