.\"return a selective sub-array .TH filter_array 3 "5 Sep 1994" MudOS "LPC Library Functions" .SH NAME filter_array() - return a selective sub-array .SH SYNOPSIS .nf mixed *filter_array( mixed *arr, string fun, object ob, mixed extra, ... ); mixed *filter_array( mixed *arr, function f, mixed extra, ...); .SH DESCRIPTION filter_array() returns an array holding the items of <arr> which passed sucessfully through the function <fun> found in object <ob>. The function <fun> is called for each element in <arr> with that element as parameter. The second parameter <extra> and following parameters are sent in each call if given. An object is considered to have passed sucessfully through <fun> (and hence is included in the return array) if <fun> returns 1. If f is passed it is used instead of ob->fun(). If <arr> is not an array, then 0 will be returned. .SH SEE ALSO sort_array(3), map_array(3)
