# $EPIC: getmatches,v 1.2 2001/06/22 20:01:37 jnelson Exp $
Synopsis:
$getmatches(<array> <pattern>)
$getrmatches(<array> <string>)
Technical:
This functions operate in a manner similar to $matchitem() and
$rmatchitem(), except that they return a list of all items that match
the input pattern or string, not just the best match. Item numbers
are returned, not the actual array contents.
Practical:
The $getmatches() function is used to retrieve all items in the given
array that match the given pattern. Similarly, $getrmatches() is used
to retrieve all items that match the given string.
Returns:
list of item numbers corresponding to matches
