lmatch(1tcl)

lmatch -- return list entries matching specified pattern

Synopsis

lmatch [mode] list pattern

Searches the elements of list, returning a list of all elements matching pattern. If none match, an empty list is returned.

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.
