- 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.
