textutil::repeat -
Procedures to repeat strings.
package require Tcl 8.2
package require textutil::repeat ? 0.7 ?
::textutil::repeat::strRepeat text num
::textutil::repeat::blank num
The package
textutil::repeat provides commands to generate
long strings by repeating a shorter string many times.
The complete set of procedures is described below.
-
::textutil::repeat::strRepeat text num
-
This command returns a string containing the text repeated
num times. The repetitions are joined without characters between
them. A value of num <= 0 causes the command to return an empty
string.
Note: If the Tcl core the package is loaded in provides the
command string repeat then this command will be implemented in
its terms, for maximum possible speed. Otherwise a fast implementation
in Tcl will be used.
-
::textutil::repeat::blank num
-
A convenience command. Returns a string of num spaces.
