how to convert a list to array in tcl?

Question

It may be a trivial question; but I am facing problem to covert a list to array inside a tcl script.

set mylist { one two three four five }

I need to convert this to array myArr. One more doubt, Can we use list elements as separate, like I want to use second element of mylist i.e. mylist(1)?

Answer 1

At it simplist, you can go through the list and increment an index i to set that array's element myArr($i):

set i 0
foreach n $mylist {
 set myArr($i) $n
 incr i
}

You can then refer to $myArr(1), but for the list you need [lindex $mylist 1].
