Another one is
  % puts [join $line]
  \tHeader with a tab



I had tried join but ended up with "{     Header} with a tab".  After some
work I got it to work by using append versus lappend.  Of course then I
needed to add a space between each word. :)

Thanks all.



All of that means you are doing some things fundamentally wrong. There is generally no need to add a space between words or using append rather than lappend if you handle the data properly. If you want more help we're all glad to provide it, but if you're happy with what you have maybe that's good enough for the job at hand.
