lappend problem 1

[reggler]

Hi there,

I would like to read out content from a text file into a list, look for a specific value, change it and write it back into the text file.
The problem is lappend doesn';t seem to what I expect, my code:

	    set path [file join C:/ "Documents and Settings" "FinalTest" "user.txt"]
        set FileID [finaltest::retrieve $path r+ [clock seconds]]
        # see if Operator list is existing already if so, wipe out name and add new 
        # one - if not, write whole new line "Operator=Name"
        set userlst [list "user.txt"]
        while {[eof $FileID]!=1} {
            gets $FileID newline
            #load file content into list
            GUI::Info_DialogWIN "list length: [llength $userlst]\nappending: '$newline'"
            lappend $userlst $newline
        }

now my list stays always length 1 i assume that's from the set command...Any clues what I'm doing wrongly?
Suggestions and hints are appreciated!

Thank you!
Ron

lappend $userlst $newline

The lappend command takes the name of the list as an argument, not the value. So,
lappend [red]userlst[/red] $newline
