+ | ======Synopsis:====== | ||
+ | $__tow__(<word> <word list>) | ||
+ | |||
+ | ======Technical:====== | ||
+ | * If the <word> argument is omitted this function returns the empty string. | ||
+ | * If <word> is not found in <pattern list>, this function returns the empty string. | ||
+ | * Otherwise, the function behaves "as if" the following had been performed: \\ <val> = findw(<word> <word list>) + 1 \\ <function_return> = leftw(<val> <word/pattern list>) | ||
+ | * Remember that <word list> is a list of [[what is a word|words]]. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ======Returns:====== | ||
+ | Portion of <word list> before and including a literally matching word. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ======Examples:====== | ||
+ | <file> | ||
+ | $tow(foobar one two foobar my shoe) returns "one two foobar" | ||
+ | $tow(booya one two foobar my shoe) returns "" (empty string) | ||
+ | </file> | ||
+ | |||
+ | ======History:====== | ||
+ | This function first appeared in "plus 2" (post-ircII, pre-EPIC) | ||
