For 2023 (and 2024 ...) - we are now fully retired from IT training.
We have made many, many friends over 25 years of teaching about Python, Tcl, Perl, PHP, Lua, Java, C and C++ - and MySQL, Linux and Solaris/SunOS too. Our training notes are now very much out of date, but due to upward compatability most of our examples remain operational and even relevant ad you are welcome to make us if them "as seen" and at your own risk.

Lisa and I (Graham) now live in what was our training centre in Melksham - happy to meet with former delegates here - but do check ahead before coming round. We are far from inactive - rather, enjoying the times that we are retired but still healthy enough in mind and body to be active!

I am also active in many other area and still look after a lot of web sites - you can find an index ((here))
Use of lindex in tcl

Posted by skumar003 (skumar003), 18 March 2003
I am using lindex in a procedure in the following manner

proc test{} {
for { set nn 0 } { $nn < [llength $failed] } { incr nn }     {
   
   write_log "            [lindex $failed $nn]  "

}
}

When test is called for the second time lindex will return the $failed appending the result it got the first time it got called.

Which means If I get failed 1 when i call it first time and 2 when when I call the second time it will return 3 strings the 2nd time it runs appending the value from first.

HOW CAN I CORRECT THIS? IS THERE ANY OTHER OPTION TO USE THAN LINDEX?

Hi,  I don't think you've posted the complete example here - I think you've tried to reduce the problem to a minimal demo case (thank you), but you've gone a bit too far and taken the code that has the problem in it out!   Is $failed a global?   Does write_log open a file to append, or a lappend to a global variable?

Please do supply a bit more information and I'll have a further look.

Code:
[graham@dhansak graham]$ ./tryit
Error: can't read "failed": no such variable
   while executing
"llength $failed"
   (procedure "test" line 2)
   invoked from within
"test"
   (file "./tryit" line 11)
[graham@dhansak graham]$ cat tryit
#!/usr/bin/tcl

proc test {} {
for { set nn 0 } { $nn < [llength $failed] } { incr nn }  {

 write_log "  [lindex $failed $nn]  "

}
}

test

test
