## 6.3.4 Iterating over lists

The `foreach` command can be used to iterate over the members of a list; it will be covered in more detail in Section 7.3. The following example iterates over the words in a sentence:

`pyxplot> poem = "An aged thrush, frail, gaunt, and small, "`
`pyxplot> poem+= "In blast-beruffled plume"`
`pyxplot> wordList = poem.split()`
`pyxplot> foreach word in wordList { print word ; }`
`An`
`aged`
`thrush,`
`frail,`
`gaunt,`
`and`
`small,`
`In`
`blast-beruffled`
`plume`
