Synopsis:
$getrmatches(<array> <string>)
Technical:
This function treats the items in array as wildcard patterns, and returns a word list of item values such that
for i in ($getrmatches(<array> <string>)) {
if (<string> =~ getitem(<array> $i)) {
echo True
} else {
echo False
}
}
only outputs True and enver False. This is the reverse of getmatches.
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
