DESCRIPTION

22       The package textutil::repeat provides commands to generate long strings
23       by repeating a shorter string many times.
24
25       The complete set of procedures is described below.
26
27       ::textutil::repeat::strRepeat text num
28              This command returns a string containing the text  repeated  num
29              times.  The  repetitions  are  joined without characters between
30              them. A value of num <= 0 causes the command to return an  empty
31              string.
32
33              Note: If the Tcl core the package is loaded in provides the com‐
34              mand string repeat then this command will be implemented in  its
35              terms,  for maximum possible speed. Otherwise a fast implementa‐
36              tion in Tcl will be used.
37
38       ::textutil::repeat::blank num
39              A convenience command. Returns a string of num spaces.
