converting MOO lists into TCL lists

[splinter98]

Ok what i want to do is convert a list from the language MOO to a list that tcl can understand. this is a sample of a MOO list: {test, boo} And what i want it to be converted to: {test boo} Now the lists i want to use get even more complicated like: {{test, boo}, {foo, bar}} which need to be converted to a format that i can retrive both parts of the information (eg test and boo) so that i can continue my code. What is the eaiset method of doing this and what is the easiest method of using them afterwards thanks

It looks like the conversion is nothing more than losing the commas: set TclList [string map {, ""} $MOOList]. As to how you use Tcl Lists, I suggest you start by reading the help page
