+ | # $EPIC: common.txt, | ||
+ | ======Synopsis: | ||
+ | $__common__(< | ||
+ | |||
+ | ======Technical: | ||
+ | * There must be a literal slash character ('/' | ||
+ | * It is not required to have spaces on either side of the slash, but it also does not hurt to have them. | ||
+ | * The return value is a word list comprised of the set-intersection of <word list 1> and <word list 2>, that is to say: | ||
+ | * The return value is a word list of all words that are in BOTH of the word lists. | ||
+ | * All extra whitespace around words will be lost. | ||
+ | * Double quoted words are honored, but the double quotes will be lost in the return value. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ======Practical: | ||
+ | Use this function if you need to find the intersection of two different | ||
+ | word lists. | ||
+ | people who are on two different channels. | ||
+ | those two channels, you can use $common() to find all the people on both | ||
+ | channels. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ======Returns: | ||
+ | All words that are in both <word list 1> and <word list 2>. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ======Examples: | ||
+ | < | ||
+ | $common(one two three / two three four) | ||
+ | $common(one two / three four) | ||
