NAME¶
textutil::repeat - Procedures to repeat strings.
SYNOPSIS¶
package require
Tcl 8.2
package require
textutil::repeat ?0.7?
::textutil::repeat::strRepeat text num
::textutil::repeat::blank num
DESCRIPTION¶
The package
textutil::repeat provides commands to generate long strings
by repeating a shorter string many times.
The complete set of procedures is described below.
- ::textutil::repeat::strRepeat text num
- This command returns a string containing the text repeated
num times. The repetitions are joined without characters between
them. A value of num <= 0 causes the command to return an empty
string.
Note: If the Tcl core the package is loaded in provides the command
string repeat then this command will be implemented in its terms,
for maximum possible speed. Otherwise a fast implementation in Tcl will be
used.
- ::textutil::repeat::blank num
- A convenience command. Returns a string of num spaces.
