Problem with lappend

[Garrett Fletcher]

Hello,

I am having trouble with the lappend command. I set up a list, then append things to the list. When I try to echo the list later in my code the list is blank.

Does anyone know what is wrong?

Thank you,

Garrett

Code:

set newSegmentList [list 0]

lappend $newSegmentList [lindex $segmentList $loopCountOBR]
lappend $newSegmentList “NTE|||~*LAB CANCEL REQUEST* ~The test identified as: FE DEF PANEL has been cancelled. Please confirm receipt of the Lab within the EMR and FILE IN ERROR. Note: This cancel request should be removed from the chart.”

Garrett,

If a command argument calls for a variable name then don’t use a dollar sign. So remove the dollar sign from your variable:

set newSegmentList

Sweet! That did the trick! Thank you James.
