Find - Function Summary Summary: Finds a value in a series and returns the series at the start of it. Usage: find series value Arguments: series - The series argument. (must be: series port bitset) value - The value argument. (must be: any-type) Refinements: /part - Limits the search to a given length or position. range - The range argument. (must be: number series port) /only - Treats a series value as a single value. /case - Characters are case-sensitive. /any - Enables the * and ? wildcards. /with - Allows custom wildcards. wild - Specifies alternates for * and ? (must be: string) /skip - Treat the series as records of fixed size size - The size argument. (must be: integer) /match - Performs comparison and returns the tail of the match. /tail - Returns the end of the string. /last - Backwards from end of string. /reverse - Backwards from the current position. Description: Returns NONE if the value was not found. Otherwise, returns a position in the series where the value was found. Many refinements to this function are available. /TAIL indicates that the position just past the match should be returned. The /MATCH refinement can be used to perform a character by character match of the input value to the series. The position just past the match is returned. Wildcards can be specified with /ANY and case sensitive comparisons can be made with /CASE. The /ONLY refinement applies to block values and is ignored for strings. The /LAST refinement causes FIND to search from the TAIL of the series toward the HEAD. /REVERSE searches backwards from the current position toward the head. probe find "here and now" "and" "and now" probe find/tail "here and now" "and" " now" probe find [12:30 123 c@d.com] 123 [123 c@d.com] probe find [1 2 3 4] 5 none probe find/match "here and now" "here" " and now" probe find/match "now and here" "here" none probe find [1 2 3 4 3 2 1] 2 [2 3 4 3 2 1] probe find/last %file.fred.txt "." %.txt probe find/last [1 2 3 4 3 2 1] 2 [2 1] probe find/any "here is a string" "s?r" "string" Related: pick - Returns the value at the specified position in a series. select - Finds a value in the series and returns the value or series after it. |
