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.
