lsearch(n) Tcl Built-In Commands 7.0
_________________________________________________________________
NAME
lsearch - See if a list contains a particular element
SYNOPSIS
lsearch ?_m_o_d_e? _l_i_s_t _p_a_t_t_e_r_n
_________________________________________________________________
DESCRIPTION
This command searches the elements of _l_i_s_t to see if one of
them matches _p_a_t_t_e_r_n. If so, the command returns the index
of the first matching element. If not, the command returns
-1. The _m_o_d_e argument indicates how the elements of the |
list are to be matched against _p_a_t_t_e_r_n and it must have one |
of the following values: |
-exact ||
The list element must contain exactly the same string |
as _p_a_t_t_e_r_n. |
-glob ||
_P_a_t_t_e_r_n is a glob-style pattern which is matched |
against each list element using the same rules as the |
string match command. |
-regexp ||
_P_a_t_t_e_r_n is treated as a regular expression and matched |
against each list element using the same rules as the |
regexp command. |
If _m_o_d_e is omitted then it defaults to -glob.
