append


Append to variable

Syntax

append varName [ value value value ... ]

Description

Append all of the value arguments to the current value of variable varName. If varName doesn't exist, it is given a value equal to the concatenation of all the value arguments. This command provides an efficient way to build up long variables incrementally. For example,

append a $b
is much more efficient than
set a $a$b
if $a is long.
