  • Cases[ , , ... , pattern ] gives a list of the that match the pattern.
  • Cases[ , ... , pattern -> rhs ] gives a list of the values of rhs corresponding to the that match the pattern.
  • Cases[ expr , pattern , levspec ] gives a list of all parts of expr on levels specified by levspec which match the pattern.
  • Cases[ expr , pattern -> rhs , levspec ] gives the values of rhs which match the pattern.
  • Example: Cases[ 2, x, 4 , _Integer] .
  • The first argument to Cases need not have head List.
  • Cases[ expr , pattern , levspec , n ] gives the first n parts in expr which match the pattern.
  • Level specifications are described inĀ Section A.3.6.
  • See The Mathematica Book on the web:Section 2.3.2.
