This command, a part of tclx is documented thusly within the package:
ctoken strvar separators
Parse a token out of a character string. The string to
parse is contained in the variable named strvar. The string
separators contains all of the valid separator characters for
tokens in the string. All leading separators are skipped
and the first token is returned. The variable strvar will
be modified to contain the remainder of the string following
the token.
This command does not work with binary data.
This command is provided by Extended Tcl.Can anyone provide me an example of how this works?
