##### Match Expressions
|
||||
The pattern matching construct `match` shall choose from a sequence of patterns, and execute the corresponding action in a new frame.
|
||||
The choice is done by matching the result of the _matched expression_ (after expansion) against the _patterns_ (expanded down to either globs or literals).
|
||||
Multiple _patterns_ can be attributed to a single given action by delimiting them with a pipe ('|') symbol.
|
||||
|
||||
The expanded _matched expression_ can optionally be given a name using the `as name` clause after the _matched expression_, with which it may be accessible in the action clauses.

```sh
|
||||
# Match the result of running 'make_some_value' (which is a list when captured by $(...))
|
||||
match "$(make_some_value)" as value {
|
||||
(hello*) { echo "Hi!" }
|
||||
(say\ *) { echo "No, I will not $value" }
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
# Match the result of running 'make_some_value', cast to a string.
|
||||
match "$(make_some_value)" {
|
||||
hello* { echo "Hi!" }
|
||||
say\ * { echo "No, I will not!" }
