apply an expression to every value in a value list

Description:

to perform the same operation on every value in a value list (l), supply an expression (expr) for the operation using "_v" for the value; this custom function will traverses the value list and for each value assigns Let() variable _v to the current value, then uses Evaluate() to apply the expression to the value; the result is a value list with each original value transformed by the expression

notes:
• since mapexpr uses GetValue(), the expression should *not* expect values to be return-terminated
• while value lists are by definition text strings, if the text values are numeric, expr can usually use mathematical operations on each value in the list
• Evaluate() will transform any returns in expr to spaces

Note: these functions are not guaranteed or supported by BrianDunning.com. Please contact the individual developer with any questions or problems.
