The nselect command selects items that would fail the selection criteria of a select. When an output list displays in any of the various select sentences, the list is built from the contents of the specified attribute.
Syntax
|
nselect file.reference {item.list} {selection.criteria} {output.specification} {modifiers} |
Example(s)
|
nselect md = "m]" |
is the same as:
|
select md # "m]" |
The next example finds the FlashBASIC programs that did not compile in the bp file:
|
select bp [404] 78 items selected out of 78 items.
nselect dict bp [404] 3 items selected out of 78 items. |
Assume that there are two files with different number of items in each. Some item-IDs exist in both files, but not all of them.
First, select the first file, then select the items not in the second file:
|
select file1 [404] 767 items selected out of 767 items.
nselect file2 [404] 323 items selected. |
The list contains the items in file1 that are not in file2.
