# lremove(3tcl)

Remove elements from a list by index

```

```

## NAME

lremove - Remove elements from a list by index

## SYNOPSIS

**lremove** *list* ?*index ...*?

```

```

## DESCRIPTION

**lremove** returns a new list formed by simultaneously removing zero or more elements of *list* at each of the indices given by an arbitrary number of *index* arguments. The indices may be in any order and may be repeated; the element at index will only be removed once.  The index values are interpreted the same as index values for the command **string index**, supporting simple index arithmetic and indices relative to the end of the list.  0 refers to the first element of the list, and **end** refers to the last element of the list.

## EXAMPLES

Removing the third element of a list:

```
% lremove {a b c d e} 2
a b d e
```

Removing two elements from a list:

```
% lremove {a b c d e} end-1 1
a c e
```

Removing the same element indicated in two different ways:

```
% lremove {a b c d e} 2 end-2
a b d e
```
