As long as you wrap your function in parens so that it forces evaluation first, then yeah. Have the function do your filter, and then return the filtered data. (not positive you even need the extra parens, but its a habit for me in cases like this.)
repeat for each doesn't really care where the list comes from, so an inline function call is just fine. On Sun, Apr 5, 2015 at 2:18 PM, Peter Haworth <p...@lcsql.com> wrote: > Hi Mike, > I like that.
