DESCRIPTION

       The  package  textutil::repeat  provides  commands to generate long strings by repeating a shorter string
       many times.

       The complete set of procedures is described below.

       ::textutil::repeat::strRepeat text num
              This command returns a string containing the text repeated num times. The repetitions  are  joined
              without characters between them. A value of num <= 0 causes the command to return an empty string.

              Note:  If  the  Tcl  core  the  package  is loaded in provides the command string repeat then this
              command will  be  implemented  in  its  terms,  for  maximum  possible  speed.  Otherwise  a  fast
              implementation in Tcl will be used.

       ::textutil::repeat::blank num
              A convenience command. Returns a string of num spaces.
