Synopsis:
$after([<count>] <char> <text>)
$before([<count>] <char> <text>)
Technical:
These functions return their respective input strings up to or following
the specified occurrence of the given character. If no "count" is given,
1 (one) is assumed. If the count is negative, the functions look for
the specified instance of the given character from the end of the text.
Practical:
These functions are among the most useful additions to ircII present in
EPIC. They conveniently permit you to extract parts of a string based
on its content, not the position of key characters. This is useful for
parsing through a nick!user@host pattern, or some other pattern with
well-defined delimiters.
Returns:
after: input text after specified occurrence of given character
before: input text before specified occurrence of given character
Examples:
$after(@ hop!jnelson@wicked.neato.org) returns "wicked.neato.org"
$after(-1 ! hop!jnelson@wicked.neato.org) returns "hop"
$after(2 . hop!jnelson@wicked.neato.org) returns "org"
$after(-2 . hop!jnelson@wicked.neato.org) returns "neato.org"
$before(@ hop!jnelson@wicked.neato.org) returns "hop!jnelson"
$before(-1 e hop!jnelson@wicked.neato.org) returns "hop!jnelson@wicked.n"
