array elements need to be initialized exactly like any other variable, too.

I have to set an array

Within the proc i want to use the variable like:

$users(1.#Channel1)

$users(2.#Channel1)

$users(1.#AnotherChannel2)

$users(2.#AnotherChannel2)

How should i go about doing it ?

why would you want to do that?

if you need to pass the array as proc parameter, use [upvar]

imagine u have an array like

Code:

array set test1 {  a 1                            b 2                            c 3 }

now u can get the values like

Code:

set result $test1(a)

but it doenst work if test1 is saved in a variable like:

Code:

set whatever test1set result $whatever(a)

why ?
what if i have the array name only in a variable ?

TIA
