Brain freeze on accessing list elements in the xlate

[Carl Duff]

I am calling a tcl file from the xlate that calls a stored proc.

If I echo the returned data in the xlate it looks like this:

xlateInVals is >{{2014-05-07 15:28:00.0000000} 36183870 {Cholecystectomy Open} 07875 H Scott}< Why does the Cloverleaf xlate think this list has only one element and what do I need to do to the data (either in the tcl proc before being returned to the xlate or in the xlate itself) to get the xlate to recognize 4 distinct elements in the list so I can access each one individually? Hope this rambling makes sense and thanks in advance for assistance. -Carl

Got it working (kinda) and for what it’s worth….

set xlateOutVals [lindex [lindex $xlateInVals 0] 2]

would access the 3rd element of the list.

Additional comments/suggestions welcomed.

The xlateInVals list is a list in a list, but the “{ … }” that surrounds it isn’t visible.
