list of array of records 1

[zskater]

i am reading my tcl book at the moment and having difficulty getting
my head around how to build a list that contains an array of records

and then being able to populate the arrays with data

does anyone have any example code that might make things clearer
for me

Cheers
Steve

Hm. I'm not exactly sure what you're asking for. We might have a bit of a terminology mismatch, or perhaps you haven't quite learned that what Tcl refers to as an "array" is actually an associative array implemented as a hash. (It's similar to what Perl refers to as a "hash", or -- less so -- to what Python refers to as a "dictionary".)

Perhaps the following pages on the Tcl'ers Wiki (

http://www.purl.org/tcl/wiki)

will give you a better understanding of how Tcl arrays work and how to build complex data structures in Tcl:

"Arrays/Hash Maps",

"A simple database",

the first language i learnt was Pascal, I was thinking of the work i had done with that , i sure you could build one in it obviously not in tcl though
