Comments on: How to parse “show flow monitor-map” output with Tcl http://dossy.org/2006/06/how-to-parse-show-flow-monitormap-output-with-tcl/ Everything that comes out of Dossy, from the strange to the banal.

The output above absolutely is a keyed list structure: each line represents a key-value pair. What I think you're asking for is a hierarchical data structure. Basic Tcl doesn't directly support hierarchical data structures, however you can store whatever data you want in a Tcl list and it can absolutely be hierarchical in nature. You will just have to write all the necessary code to manipulate your data structure. There may be Tcl packages available that simplify creation and use of higher-level data structures. Google should help you find those. Tcl arrays are unordered keyed lists. The output above absolutely is a keyed list structure: each line represents a key-value pair.

(my bad, its missing Tab there. ) The output should have a keyed list structure. I guess I can write a proc that changes array to keyed list. but how do I implement it in a keyed list originally? Thanks very much. Hello Dear,

{cacheActiveToutUnit Seconds} is the child of the one above it. like it’s its unit. how do I go about implementing the nested ones?
(my bad, its missing Tab there. )

The output should have a keyed list structure. I guess I can write a proc that changes array to keyed list. but how do I implement it in a keyed list originally?

Thanks very much.
