foreach(TCL)
foreach -- iterate over all elements in a list
Syntax
foreach
varname list body
Description
In this command
varname
is the name of a variable,
list
is a list of values to assign to
varname
, and
body
is a Tcl script. For each element of
list
(in order from left to right),
foreach
assigns the contents of the field to
varname
as if the
lindex
command had been used to extract the field, then calls the Tcl interpreter to execute
body
. The
break
and
continue
statements may be invoked inside
body
, with the same effect as in the
for
command. The command returns an empty string.
