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



____________________________________________________________________________________________________________

NAME
       lrange - Return one or more adjacent elements from a list

SYNOPSIS
       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.  First or 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]''
