Synopsis: $filter( ) $rfilter( ) Technical: These function are used to filter out any items from the input list that do not match the given word (for $rfilter()) or pattern (for $filter()). If there are no matches, the entire input list is returned. Practical: These functions are effectively the opposite of the $pattern() and $rpattern() functions. The pattern functions return items that do match, while the filter functions return those that don't. Returns: items in input list that do not match given word/pattern Examples: $filter(*oo* booya blah foobar) returns "blah" $filter(*oo* blah erf twiddle) returns "blah erf twiddle" $rfilter(blah b* *oo* *bar) returns "*oo* *bar" $rfilter(blah foo* *ya *bar) returns "foo* *ya *bar" See Also: pattern(6); rpattern(6)
