NAME
       lsearch - See if a list contains a particular element

SYNOPSIS
       lsearch ?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  pat‐
       tern and it must have one of the following values:

       -exact The  list	 element  must contain exactly the same string as pat‐
	      tern.

       -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 rules	 described  in	the  re_syntax
	      reference page.

       If mode is omitted then it defaults to -glob.
