REPEATED SEARCH performs search operations on each string in a LIST.

REPEATED SEARCH may test whether a string starts with, ends with or contains another string.

REPEATED SEARCH may find the position within each string in a LIST of the first or last occurrence of the search string in Search Text:

Search Text: may contain SCALAR's or LIST's of the same length as the input LIST in Value:. The resulting REPEATED SEARCH will also be this length.

For examples see SEARCH. In contrast to SEARCH:

• REPEATED SEARCH uses a LIST instead of a SCALAR for Value:
• REPEATED SEARCH does not EXPAND LIST references in Search Text:
  • Instead Search Text: and Value: are matched element-by-element

A regular expression provides an advanced template or pattern for matching text.
