.SH DESCRIPTION
|
||
|
|
.PP
|
||
|
|
\fBLreplace\fR returns a new list formed by replacing one or more elements of
|
||
|
|
\fIlist\fR with the \fIelement\fR arguments.
|
||
|
|
\fIFirst\fR gives the index in \fIlist\fR of the first element
|
||
|
|
to be replaced (0 refers to the first element).
|
||
|
|
If \fIfirst\fR is less than zero then it refers to the first
|
||
|
|
element of \fIlist\fR; the element indicated by \fIfirst\fR
|
||
|
|
must exist in the list.
|
||
|
|
\fILast\fR gives the index in \fIlist\fR of the last element
|
||
|
|
to be replaced.
|
||
|
|
If \fIlast\fR is less than \fIfirst\fR then no elements are deleted;
|
||
|
|
the new elements are simply inserted before \fIfirst\fR.
|
||
|
|
\fIFirst\fR or \fIlast\fR may be \fBend\fR
|
||
|
|
(or any abbreviation of it) to refer to the last element of the list.
|
||
|
|
The \fIelement\fR arguments specify zero or more new arguments to
|
||
|
|
be added to the list in place of those that were deleted.
|
||
|
|
Each \fIelement\fR argument will become a separate element of
|
||
|
|
the list.
|
||
|
|
If no \fIelement\fR arguments are specified, then the elements
|
||
|
|
between \fIfirst\fR and \fIlast\fR are simply deleted.
