store material ids in array form and retrieve later

Altair Forum User

How do i store the materials on display in an array name (one variable that can store more than one value. Is it possible in tcl). And need to retrieve the information later (refer variable and retrieve only the first value).

yes, ofcourse it is possible

you can store them in a list variable which contains values separeted by space

then you can retrieve first value or do many operations on the list. pls refer
