NAME
split - Split a string into a proper Tcl list
SYNOPSIS
split string ?splitChars?
_________________________________________________________________
DESCRIPTION
Returns a list created by splitting string at each character
that is in the splitChars argument. Each element of the
result list will consist of the characters from string that
lie between instances of the characters in splitChars.
Empty list elements will be generated if string contains
adjacent characters in splitChars, or if the first or last
character of string is in splitChars. If splitChars is an
empty string then each character of string becomes a
separate element of the result list. SplitChars defaults to
the standard white-space characters. For example,
split "comp.unix.misc" .
returns "comp unix misc" and
split "Hello world" {}
returns "H e l l o { } w o r l d".
