Getting all records

Whereas the dict keys command returns a listing of all keys contained within a dictionary, the dict values command will return a listing of all stored values. The syntax is as follows:

dict values dictionaryValue

How to do it…

In the following example we will create a dictionary containing collections of key/value pairs and then using the dict values command we will obtain a list of all values stored within the dictionary. Return values from the commands are provided for clarity. Enter the following command:

% set test [dict create 1 one 2 two 3 three]
1 one 2 two 3 three
% dict values $test
one two three

How it works…

The dict values command will return a list of all values stored within the dictionary specified in dictionaryValue.
