except

Purpose

The except() function is used to specify that any arguments except specified ones can occur on the specified position in the sequence.

Syntax

Arguments

Accepts multiple arguments instead of a single argument.

except() cannot be used within functions which do not support nested arguments (e.g. term(), regex(), dictword(), knownword(), unknownword(), number(), etc.). In such cases operator "/" can be used instead.

Returned Value

Examples

case(title, except(company)) matches all words, starting from a capital letter, except "Company".

lemma(adjective, except(fast)) matches all adjectives, except "fast".
