Join converts a Tcl list into a string. It glues together the elements of a list using a supplied character as element seperator. Default is a space.
RS A typical application is to process a text that consists of several lines:
foreach line [split $input \n] { # do something with line, produce output lappend outlines $out } set result [join $outlines \n]
Another is to flatten out one level of embedded lists:
% join {1 {2 {3 4}} 5} 1 2 {3 4} 5
