Re: xindex
You are probably referring to the "xindex" procedure that was introduced by I believe KuNgFo0 used in his "own.tcl"...spock wrote:ive seen 'xindex' be used in a few scripts.

It is basically a procedure to first convert a string to a list, thus allowing list operations, such as "lindex" to be properly used.
But, In my opinion, it just confuses people more, especially when they can't tell the difference in the first place between strings, lists, lindex, and xindex...
You'd be better off just doing it manually, such as:
Code: Select all
set element [lindex [split $mystring] 0]
