The $v1 identifier returns the value of the lefthand operand of the most recently checked conditonal statement within a script. This identifier is equivalent to the $ifmatch identifier.

Synopsis

$v1

Examples

List the names of any hash tables currently in use upon calling an alias /hlist:

alias hlist {
  if (!$hget(0)) { echo -qgaec i * No hash tables in use }
  else {
    var %i 1
    while ($hget(%i) != $null) {
      echo -ga $v1
    }
  }
  echo -qgaec i End of /hlist.
}

Check if two random numbers between 1 and 5 are equivalent, and echo the matching numbers if so:

//echo -ga $iif($rand(1,5) == $rand(1,5),Yes! $v1 == $v2,No! $v1 != $v2) $+ !
