Syntax: foreach varList list body

Loops over the elements in the list, assigning them to the variables in the varList and executing the body for each set of assignments.

The break and continue commands can be used to control loop execution; see their reference pages for details.

Prints out the values "1", "2", and "3" on successive lines.

foreach a {1 2 3} {
    puts $a
}

Prints out pairs of values from the list. In the final iteration there is only value left, so b is assigned the empty string.

foreach {a b} {1 2 3 4 5} {
    puts "$a,$b"
}
# Outputs:
#
#  1,2
#  3,4
#  5,

In standard TCL, foreach can iterate over multiple lists at the same time, e.g., the following script will output the pairs "a,1", "b,2", and "c,3". Molt doesn't currently support this extended syntax.

foreach x {a b c} y {1 2 3} {
    puts "$x,$y"
}
