NAME
lindex - Retrieve an element from a list
SYNOPSIS
lindex list index
_________________________________________________________________
DESCRIPTION
This command treats list as a Tcl list and returns the
index'th element from it (0 refers to the first element of
the list). In extracting the element, lindex observes the
same rules concerning braces and quotes and backslashes as
the Tcl command interpreter; however, variable substitution
and command substitution do not occur. If index is negative
or greater than or equal to the number of elements in value,
then an empty string is returned. If index has the value
end, it refers to the last element in the list.
KEYWORDS
