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.
