SYNOPSISlsearch ?mode? list pattern
_________________________________________________________________DESCRIPTION
This command searches the elements of list to see if one
of them matches pattern. If so, the command returns the
index of the first matching element. If not, the command
returns -1. The mode argument indicates how the elements
of the list are to be matched against pattern and it must
have one of the following values:
-exact The list element must contain exactly the same
string as pattern.
-glob Pattern is a glob-style pattern which is matched
against each list element using the same rules as
the string match command.
-regexp
Pattern is treated as a regular expression and
matched against each list element using the same
rules as the regexp command.
If mode is omitted then it defaults to -glob.
