Each \fIelement\fR argument will become a separate element of +the new list. If \fIindex\fR is less than or equal to zero, then the new +elements are inserted at the beginning of the list, and if \fIindex\fR is +greater or equal to the length of \fIlist\fR, it is as if it was \fBend\fR. +As with \fBstring index\fR, the \fIindex\fR value supports both simple index +arithmetic and end-relative indexing. +.PP +Subject to the restrictions that indices must refer to locations inside the +list and that the \fIelement\fRs will always be inserted in order, insertions +are done so that when \fIindex\fR is start-relative, the first \fIelement\fR +will be at that index in the resulting list, and when \fIindex\fR is +end-relative, the last \fIelement\fR will be at that index in the resulting +list. +.SH EXAMPLE +.PP +Putting some values into a list, first indexing from the start and +then indexing from the end, and then chaining them together: +.PP +.CS +set oldList {the fox jumps over the dog} +set midList [\fBlinsert\fR $oldList 1 quick] +set newList [\fBlinsert\fR $midList end-1 lazy] +# The old lists still exist though... +set newerList [\fBlinsert\fR [\fBlinsert\fR $oldList end-1 quick] 1 lazy] +.CE +.SH "SEE ALSO" +list(n), lappend(n), lindex(n), llength(n), lsearch(n), +lset(n), lsort(n), lrange(n), lreplace(n), +string(n) +.SH KEYWORDS +element, insert, list +'\" Local Variables: +'\" mode: nroff +'\" End: |
