NAME
       split - Split a string into a proper Tcl list

SYNOPSIS
       split string ?splitChars?


DESCRIPTION
       Returns  a  list  created  by  splitting  string  at  each
       character  that  is  in  the  splitChars  argument.   Each
       element  of the result list will consist of the characters
       from string that lie between instances of  the  characters
       in  splitChars.   Empty list elements will be generated if
       string contains adjacent characters in splitChars,  or  if
       the  first  or  last character of string is in splitChars.
       If splitChars is an empty string then  each  character  of
       string  becomes  a  separate  element  of the result list.
       SplitChars   defaults   to   the   standard    white-space
       characters.  For example,
              split "comp.unix.misc" .
       returns "comp unix misc" and
              split "Hello world" {}
       returns "H e l l o { } w o r l d".
