  1. It is best to start with an example:
  2.  
  3. $abc
  4. $def
  5. S4P
  6.  
  7. `$` denotes the start of a "template", what is used to match with the input. The template ends when the a line does not start with `$`. Thus the above template is:
  8.  
  9. abc
  10. def
  11.  
  12. `S` is the search keyword, searching the input with `4` as the argument. More on searches later.
  13.  
  14. `P` prints the result.
  15.  
  16. What one can do with templates
  17. ---
  18. You can mirror them with the `M` keyword:
  19.  
  20. $abc
  21. MP
  22.  
  23. Output: `$cba`
  24.  
  25. You can rotate them with the `R` keyword, where the argument is the number of rotations:
  26.  
  27. $abc
  28. R1P
  29.  
  30. Output:
  31.  
  32. $a
  33. $b
  34. $c
  35.  
  36. You can append them to each other with `<`, `>`, `v`, and `^`. `v` and `^` are vertical, while `>` and `<` or horizontal. Remember, it points to the one that goes first!
  37.  
  38. $world
  39. >
  40. $hello
  41. P
  42. -------------------
  43. $helloworld
  44. and:
  45.  
  46. $above
  47. ^
  48. $below
  49. P
  50. ----------------
  51. $above
  52. $below
  53.  
  54. You can multiply vertically with `*` or horizontally with `~`:
  55.  
  56. $hello
  57. *2P
  58. --------------
  59. $hello
  60. $hello
  61.  
  62. horizontally:
  63.  
  64. $hello
  65. ~2P
  66. ---------------
  67. $hellohello
  68.  
  69. One can assign templates (and other stuff) to variables by following the template with an **unused** non keyword variable name. All lowercase letters (except `v`) should be available. Note: these are effectively immutable, and cannot be reassigned a different template/value.
  70.  
  71. $abc
  72. a
  73. $def
  74. b>a>bP
  75. -------------
  76. $defabcdef
  77.  
  78. You can search with them using the `S` keyword. This is probably the most important function in the whole language.
  79.  
  80. If the argument following is < 4, then it searches until it finds a match and returns the match.
  81.  
  82. If the argument is divisible by 2, then it searches regardless of rotation.
  83.  
  84. The `S` command returns either an array of matches, or a single match.
  85.  
  86. Arrays or anything with indexes
  87. ---
  88. Elements can be accessed with the `G` command, followed by the element index.
  89.  
  90. The length of an array can be acquired with the 'L' keyword.
  91.  
  92. Searches can be linked together with the `&` keyword.
  93.  
  94. Numbers
  95. ---
  96. There are only integers (in the code at least), and if you haven't noticed already, you can't put multi-digit numbers in the code.
  97.  
  98. Instead you can use `(...)`, which works like regular parentheses.
  99.  
  100. You can use `+` (addition), `-` (subtraction), `*` (multiplication), `/` (division, non-integer), `%` (modulus), and `^` (exponentiation).
  101.  
  102. Input
  103. ---
  104. If you should want to get the input as an array of lines, you're in luck! It is already in variable `I`.
  105.  
  106. Reserved letters in templates
  107. ---
  108.  
  109. `D` is any digit [0-9]
  110.  
  111. `*` is anything. Literally. It doesn't even have to exist. Think of it like a hole in the template.
  112.  
  113. `L` is any letter [a-zA-Z]
  114.  
  115. `l` is any lowercase letter [a-z]
  116.  
  117. `U` is any uppercase letter [A-Z]
  118.  
  119. `%` is the edge of a template, so `$%abc` would only match if `a` is on the left side of the input
  120.  
  121. You can escape these with a backslash `\`
  122.  
  123. There are (limited) character classes!
  124.  
  125. [abcd] is a or b or c or d.
  126.  
  127. [^abcd] is not a and not b and not c and not d.
