.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
\fBlsearch \fR?\fImode\fR? \fIlist pattern\fR
|
|
.BE
|
|
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.PP
|
|
This command searches the elements of \fIlist\fR to see if one
|
|
of them matches \fIpattern\fR.
|
|
If so, the command returns the index of the first matching
|
|
element.
|
|
If not, the command returns \fB\-1\fR.
|
|
.VS
|
|
The \fImode\fR argument indicates how the elements of the list are to
|
|
be matched against \fIpattern\fR and it must have one of the following
|
|
values:
|
|
.TP
|
|
\fB\-exact\fR
|
|
The list element must contain exactly the same string as \fIpattern\fR.
|
|
.TP
|
|
\fB\-glob\fR
|
|
\fIPattern\fR is a glob-style pattern which is matched against each list
|
|
element using the same rules as the \fBstring match\fR command.
|
|
.TP
|
|
\fB\-regexp\fR
|
|
\fIPattern\fR is treated as a regular expression and matched against
|
|
each list element using the same rules as the \fBregexp\fR command.
|
|
.PP
|
|
If \fImode\fR is omitted then it defaults to \fB\-glob\fR.
