What you were looking for was the Tcl "eval" command. set args [list -l -t -r] eval exec ls $args /tmp When you call exec, it executes the command represented by its first argument, passing it as separate arguments the value of each variable. So, in the above case, if I had incorrectly tried exec ls $args /tmp then my ls command would have received 2 arguments. The first would have been "-l -t -r" and the second "/tmp" . Now, ls has no idea what an argument of "-l -t -r" is - it knows things like "-l" and "-t" and "-r" ... but not those spaces in there. -- Tcl - The glue of a new generation. <URL: http://wiki.tcl.tk/ > Larry W.
