Determining size of xlateIn objects

[Benjamin Rubin]

I’m writing a tcl proc where I’d like to be able to take multiple in objects of arbitrary length, manipulate them and then output to a matching list of outbound objects.

The problem I am having is determining the length of each inbound object. As I iterate across xlateInVals, I’m not sure how to tell where one object ends, and another begins.  I suppose I may be able to use llength and division if I’m sure that all my input objects are of the same size, but thats not the elegant solution that I’d like to use.

Any suggestions?

What length are you looking for ?

The field length or the entire segment ?

What kind of objects ?

I’m not quite sure if I understand what you are asking, but from what I gather, why not try this (and I may be oversimplifying things for what you are wanting to do:

[string length [lindex $xlateInVals $ctr] ]

Where $ctr would be some ctr that you use as you iterate through the list.
