findAll :: Enumerable

findAll(iterator) -> Array

 

Returns all the elements for which the iterator returned true. Aliased as select.

 

This is a sort of all-purpose version of grep (which is specific to String representations of the values). findAll lets you define your predicate for the elements, providing maximum flexibility.

 

Examples

 

$R(110).findAll(function(n) { return 0 == n % 2; })

// -> [2, 4, 6, 8, 10]

 

'hello''world''this''is''nice'].findAll(function(s) {

  return s.length >= 5;

})

// -> ['hello', 'world']

The reject method is the opposite of this one. If you need to split elements in two groups based upon a predicate, look at partition.

 

Enumerable: reject | partition
