format statement: Expanding a string

Hello,


The last statement below fails with a "not enough arguments". This seems


reasonable, but I cannot figure out how to make it work. I need to expand


$pets into its 2 items, but have had no success. Any ideas?


Thanks,


Scott



set myfmt "%-25s  %10s";


set pets  "Cat Dog";


puts [format $myfmt Cat Dog];  # this one works


puts [format $myfmt $pets];    # this one doesn't
