The glob command can accept many pattern arguments
but the lsearch do not. As it is often interesting to
search lists for several elements, this feature could be
powerful:
lsearch ?switches? list pattern ?pattern...?
This syntax is totally compatible with the current lsearch
command. It would provide a smart replacement for:
set newList {}
foreach pattern patternList {
set result [lsearch ?switches? $list $pattern]
set newList [concat $newList $pattern]
}
It would then be possible to easily find the common
elements of 2 lists:
eval lsearch -all -inline [list $list1] $list2
or to delete list elements that are already in the second
list:
eval lsearch -all -not -inline [list $list1] $list2
