String Subcommands - length index range

Tcl commands often have "subcommands". The string command is an example of one of these. The string command treats its first argument as a subcommand. Utilizing subcommands is a good way to make one command do multiple things without using cryptic names. For instance, Tcl has string length instead of, say, slength.

This lesson covers these string subcommands:

string length string

Returns the length of

string.

string index string index

Returns the

indexth character from

string.

string range string first last

Returns a string composed of the characters from

first to

last.
