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

NAME
       concat - Join lists together

SYNOPSIS
       concat ?arg arg ...?
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________


DESCRIPTION
       This  command  joins  each  of its arguments together with spaces after trimming leading and trailing
       white-space from each of them.  If all the arguments are lists, this has the same effect as  concate-nating concatenating
       nating  them  into  a  single list.  It permits any number of arguments; if no args are supplied, the
       result is an empty string.

EXAMPLES
       Although concat will concatenate lists (so the command:
              concat a b {c d e} {f {g h}}
       will return "a b c d e f {g h}" as its result), it will also concatenate things that are  not  lists,
       and hence the command:
              concat " a b {c   " d "  e} f"
       will return "a b {c d e} f" as its result.

       Note that the concatenation does not remove spaces from the middle of its arguments, so the command:
              concat "a   b   c" { d e f }
       will return "a   b   c d e f" (i.e. with three spaces between the a, the b and the c).
