1.147.5 SequenceableCollection: copying SequenceableCollections

, aSequenceableCollection

Append aSequenceableCollection at the end of the receiver (using #add:), and answer a new collection

copyAfter: anObject

Answer a new collection holding all the elements of the receiver after the first occurrence of anObject, up to the last.

copyAfterLast: anObject

Answer a new collection holding all the elements of the receiver after the last occurrence of anObject, up to the last.

copyFrom: start

Answer a new collection containing all the items in the receiver from the start-th.

copyFrom: start to: stop

Answer a new collection containing all the items in the receiver from the start-th and to the stop-th

copyReplaceAll: oldSubCollection with: newSubCollection

Answer a new collection in which all the sequences matching oldSubCollection are replaced with newSubCollection

copyReplaceFrom: start to: stop with: replacementCollection

Answer a new collection of the same class as the receiver that contains the same elements as the receiver, in the same order, except for elements from index `start' to index `stop'.

If start < stop, these are replaced by the contents of the replacementCollection. Instead, If start = (stop + 1), like in `copyReplaceFrom: 4 to: 3 with: anArray', then every element of the receiver will be present in the answered copy; the operation will be an append if stop is equal to the size of the receiver or, if it is not, an insert before index `start'.

copyReplaceFrom: start to: stop withObject: anObject

Answer a new collection of the same class as the receiver that contains the same elements as the receiver, in the same order, except for elements from index `start' to index `stop'.

If start < stop, these are replaced by stop-start+1 copies of anObject. Instead, If start = (stop + 1), then every element of the receiver will be present in the answered copy; the operation will be an append if stop is equal to the size of the receiver or, if it is not, an insert before index `start'.

copyUpTo: anObject

Answer a new collection holding all the elements of the receiver from the first up to the first occurrence of anObject, excluded.

copyUpToLast: anObject

Answer a new collection holding all the elements of the receiver from the first up to the last occurrence of anObject, excluded.

copyWithFirst: anObject

Answer a new collection holding all the elements of the receiver after the first occurrence of anObject, up to the last.
