+ | ======Synopsis: | ||
+ | $__matchitem__(< | ||
+ | |||
+ | ======Technical: | ||
+ | This function treats the items in the array as literal strings, and | ||
+ | returns the literal string that is "best matched" | ||
+ | The item value of the best matched string is returned. | ||
+ | |||
+ | This string is similar to the [[rmatch]] function, and the reverse of | ||
+ | the [[rmatchitem]] function. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ======Practical: | ||
+ | These functions are analogous to $[[match]]() and $[[rmatch]](). | ||
+ | or pattern, they search through the given array' | ||
+ | for the best match, if any. Basically, the array' | ||
+ | if they were the list of words or patterns passed to $[[match]]() or | ||
+ | $[[rmatch]](). | ||
+ | |||
+ | ======Returns: | ||
+ | < | ||
+ | > -1 item number in array that matched | ||
+ | -1 could not find specified array | ||
+ | -2 could not find a matching item | ||
