# $EPIC: igetrmatches.txt,v 1.2 2007/02/27 04:57:37 jnelson Exp $ ======Synopsis:====== $__igetrmatches__( ) ======Technical:====== This function treats the items in array as wildcard patterns, and returns a word list of index values such that for i in ($igetrmatches( )) { if ( =~ igetitem( $i)) { echo True } else { echo False } } only outputs True and enver False. This is the converse of [[getrmatches]]. ======Practical:====== The $__getmatches__() function is used to retrieve all items in the given array that match the given pattern. Similarly, $__getrmatches__() is used to retrieve all items that match the given string. ======Returns:====== list of item numbers corresponding to matches
