Here is the code that will work.  

regsub -all {\T\} $xlateInVals {&} xlateOutVals

So will the string command:

set xlateOutVals [string map {\T\ &} $xlateInVals]

I usually don’t like to use string commands on a list but since you are setting a list, its OK

FWIW, the string command isa bit more ergonomic when doing minor changes.  Its more optimized and designed to do a specific task.

And, the nice thing is you don’t have to worry about escaping regular expression special characters

I don’t think a simple regsub will work for all cases.
