Description

s ? expr : x
s ? expr saves the current subject, &subject, and position, &pos and then sets them to the values of s and 1, respectively. It then evaluates expr.

The outcome is the outcome of expr.

&subject and &pos are restored on exit from expr to their saved values.
 
Parameters
s
subject string
expr
pattern matching expression
returns
result of evaluating expr
 
Errors
103 s is not a string
