Use a list.

Code:

set namenick {John johnny Peter pete Jack ripper "Firstname Lastname" theNick}foreach {name nick} $namenick {  output "$name has the nickname $nick"}

The last entry is just to show you how to add names with spaces in them. Your string could be turned into a list like this by splitting it on "|" and ":" (set demo [split $namenick "|:"])

Help with arrays and lists

2004-03-17T11:57:04-04:00

Hello, im making a tcl script and need some help.
I want to create a variable(or array) like

set namenick "John|johnny:Peter|pete:Jack|ripper"

| is used to separate name from nick and : is used to separate different persons.
Now how can i output them like this:

John has the nickname is johnny
Peter has the nickname pete
..

Note: We do NOT know how many names/nicks in the variable is.
I used set array but it seemed slow and outputted them in a random order.

Thanks very much in advice!
