FILTERconditiontemplate
data
Outputs a word or list, depending on the type of the data
input, containing a subset of the members (for a list) or characters (for a word) of the input.
The conditiontemplate
input is evaluated once for each member of the data, and it must produce a TRUE or FALSE value.
If the value is TRUE, then the corresponding member is included in the output.
Otherwise, it is omitted.
In a template, the symbol ?REST
represents the portion of the data input to the right of the member currently being used as the ?
slot-filler.
For example, if the data input is [A B C D E]
and the template is being evaluated with ?
replaced by B
, then ?REST
would be replaced by [C D E]
.
In a template, the symbol #
represents the position in the data input of the member currently being used as the ?
slot-filler.
For example, if the data input is [A B C D E]
and the template is being evaluated with ?
replaced by B
, then #
would be replaced by 2
.
