Fill:
That depends on what you hope to achieve:
If you are trying to create a list with a single item, containg the whole of $text, that'll work ("lindex [list $list] 0" will return the whole content of $text).
If, however, you are trying to make each word within $text a separate list item, that will not work. Instead, you should be looking at split (Ie: "lindex [split $list] 0" will return the first word in $text).

wouldn't a [list $text] solve the problem?

Just as an aside, many ppl learning Tcl (me included, countless times) have made mistakes by assuming any text returned to a proc from a bind such as PUB can be treated as a list of words. It isn't. Scripts incorrectly treating this argument as a list will choke on special characters.

The following webpage (dealing with the proper use of split and join commands) is quite well known, and well worth a read.

Code:

set fp [open "thefile.txt" r]set datalist [split [read $fp] \n]close $fpset datastring [join $datalist]

Look at the core Tcl commands 'split' and 'join'

if i may join this thread and ask how to join the seperated words then?

exactly the opposite thing should be executed if possible:

foreach word i want it in one line again

the way i did it was
first set empty string

Code:

set fline ""

then i did a for each loop..
depending if its in a file you would do it like:

Code:

set fp [open "thefile.txt" r]set data [read $fp]close $fpset data [split $data "\n"]foreach line $data{ set fline "$fline $line"}

i dont know if there is a better way of doing this.. but this works fine for me

so basically loop trough everything, and add every word one by one to the $line string
