NAME
eval - Evaluate a Tcl script
** Synopsis **
SYNOPSIS
eval arg ?arg ...?
DESCRIPTION
Eval takes one or more arguments, which together comprise a Tcl script containing one or more commands. Eval concatenates all its arguments in the same fashion as the concat command, passes the concatenated string to the Tcl interpreter recursively, and returns the result of that evaluation (or any error generated by it). (From: [TclHelp])
----
Use of the eval command is considered "evil", dangerous or bad style by some Tcl'ers (because it leads to [double substitution]), but there are situations where its feature of removing one layer of list structure (like with concat) comes in just right. If you compose widgets in Tk, first you create them, then you manage them (register at a geometry manager, e.g. ''pack''). You either have to keep track of what widgets you created, and repeat that list in the pack command, or just say
eval pack [winfo children .]
'''eval''' is often used with exec, to flatten input lists:
eval exec grep foo $filelist
because otherwise ''grep'' would receive filelist as one long filename with embedded blanks. Or, if you want to append one list's elements to another:
set thislist [concat $thislist $thatlist] ;# can also be done as
eval lappend thislist $thatlist
Another application is in building up a command in pieces (by appending to a string) and finally calling
eval $cmd
'''`eval`''' concatenates its arguments in the same fashion as
----
[[Document Donal's (controversial?) [linsert] trick for pure-list
evaluation.]]
`eval` is an old, old command that's been in [Tcl] from the beginning.
----
The arguments to [[eval]] are concatenated into a string to be interpreted, but this operation does not guarantee that the string will be a well-formed script (i.e. one conforming to the Tcl parsing rules as laid out in the Tcl manual page).
`eval` is useful when one wishes to generate a script and then interpret it.
The following script breaks because the concatenation keeps the newlines from the list's string representation, making [[eval]] interpret the second element as a new command:
