    The "Working with Tables" example shows a variable $row that contains 1 row of the table. In your example, the variable $test contains the entire table. If you want a single statement that operates on $test, it would be either 

    %array set a1 [lindex [lindex $test 0] 0]
    or 
    %array set a1 [join [lindex $test 0]]

I see how they did it now. They are using a foreach loop which will remove the first set of curly brackets then the 

lindex $row 0
removes the last set. When trying to use it in my iApps I am using a for loop which means I need to do the first lindex for the $test index then lindex 0 the result-

% for {set index 0} {$index < [llength $test]} {incr index} {
        puts "----------------------------------"
        array set a1 [lindex [lindex $test $index] 0]
        parray a1
}
----------------------------------
a1(address) = 10.0.0.1
a1(port)    = 80
----------------------------------
a1(address) = 10.0.0.2
a1(port)    = 80
----------------------------------
a1(address) = 10.0.0.3
a1(port)    = 80
