- Synopsis:
- $matchitem(<array> <word>)
- $rmatchitem(<array> <pattern>)
-
- Technical:
- These functions are used to search through the given array for the item
- that best matches the given word or pattern.
-
- Practical:
- These functions are analogous to $match() and $rmatch(). Given a word
- or pattern, they search through the given array's contents and look
- for the best match, if any. Basically, the array's contents behave as
- 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
