# $EPIC: fromw,v 1.5 2003/07/05 06:34:00 jnelson Exp $
Synopsis:
$fromw(<word> <word list>)
Technical:
* If the <word> argument is omitted this function returns the empty string.
* The <word list> is a list of literal words. Before EPIC4-1.1.10, the
<word list> was a list of wildcard patterns.
* If <word> is not found in <word list>, this function returns the
empty string.
* Otherwise, the function behaves "as if" the following had been performed:
<val> = findw(<word> <word list>)
<function_return> = restw(<val> <word list>)
* <word list> supports double quoted words if /xdebug extractw is set.
Practical:
This function lets you get the part of <word list> that occurs AFTER
AND INCLUDING the <word>.
Returns:
The portion of <word list> after and including the <word>.
Examples:
$fromw(foobar one two foobar my shoe) returns "foobar my shoe"
$fromw(booya one two foobar my shoe) returns "" (empty string)
$fromw(foobar f* fo* foobar foo* foob*) returns "foobar foo* foob*"
History:
This function first appeared in "+2" (post-ircII, pre-EPIC)
