Description

!x1 : x2, x3, ..., xn

!x1 is a generator.

If x1 is a file, !x1 generates the remaining lines of x1.

if x1 is a string, x1 generates the one-character substrings of x1, and produces variables if x1 is a variable.

If x1 is a list or record, !x1 generates the elements of x1, which are variables. The order of generation is from the beginning to the end.

If x1 is a set, !x1 generates the members of x1 in no predictable order.

If x1 is a table, !x1 generates the elements of x1 as variables in no predictable order.

Parameters

x1: file, string, variable, list, record, set or table
returns: successive values of x1 until failure.

Errors

103	x1 originally string, but type changed between resumptions.
116	x1 is not string, file, or a structure.
212	x1 is file but not open for reading.
