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

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".
