is there a way to pick a random entry from a list

Hi Andrew,

I don't understand what your trying to achive, but to round-robin a TCL list you may want to use...

[lindex $members [expr {int(rand()*[llength $members])}]]

BTW: A List is not comparable to an array. A List is more or less just multiple strings chained in a row and seperated by spaces. An Array is also available in TCL and is more or less a collection of independent variables stored in a hash-based container. The order of List entries is always fixed and Arrays doens't even have an order.

Cheers, Kai
