Skip

Skips the specified number of elements from the given sequence and returns the remaining elements.

Syntax

Sequence.Skip
   ·  [count]
   ·  [sequence]

Parameters

count

The number of elements to stip.

sequence

The sequence to return elements from.

Return Value

A sequence containing the remaning elements from the given sequence.

Remarks

This can be used in conjunction with Sequence.First to get a specific item in a sequence.

As an example, the following would get the fourth element selected by the MySelector selector:

Sequence.First
  ·  Sequence.Skip
        ·  3
        ·  Select.MySelector

Note that skipping 3 elements gives the fourth element because skipping 0 elements would give the first one. If MySelector selects less than 4 elements, an empty sequence will be produced. If this functionality is needed more than once in a project, it can also be generalized into a function that takes a zero based index and a sequence:

function (index selector)
   Sequence.First
      ·  Sequence.Skip
            ·  index
            ·  selector

Supposing the function was pasted into a global called GetElement, it could be used anywhere within the project like this:

GetElement
   ·  3
   ·  Select.MySelector
