- lrange list first last
-
-
- DESCRIPTION
- List must be a valid Tcl list. This command will return a
- new list consisting of elements first through last,
- inclusive. 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: ``lrange
- list first first'' does not always produce the same result
- as ``lindex list first'' (although it often does for simple
- fields that aren't enclosed in braces); it does, however,
- produce exactly the same results as ``list [lindex list
- first]''
