Skip Until (P1)
This operator allows skipping over characters until a specific character type or a literal string is detected. It can be
used in two ways:
P1ct
Where:
• P1 is the Skip Until operator
• c is the type of character that triggers the start of output
• t is one or more template characters
P1"s"t
Where:
• P1 is the Skip Until operator
• "s" is one or more literal string characters (see Literal String (" and +) on page 17-22) that trigger the start of
output
• t is one or more template characters
The trigger character or literal string is included in output from a Skip Until operator, and the first character in the
template should accommodate this trigger.
