- lsearch ?mode? list pattern
-
-
- DESCRIPTION
- This command searches the elements of list to see if one of
- them matches pattern. If so, the command returns the index
- of the first matching element. If not, the command returns
- -1. The mode argument indicates how the elements of the
- list are to be matched against pattern and it must have one
- of the following values:
-
- -exact
- The list element must contain exactly the same string
- as pattern.
-
- -glob
- Pattern is a glob-style pattern which is matched
- against each list element using the same rules as the
- string match command.
-
- -regexp
- Pattern is treated as a regular expression and matched
- against each list element using the same rules as the
- regexp command.
-
- If mode is omitted then it defaults to -glob.
