$Pre

Usage

• $Pre is a global variable whose value, if set, is applied to every input expression.

Notes

• Unless $Pre is assigned to be a function which holds its arguments unevaluated, input expressions will be evaluated before $Pre is applied, so the effect of $Pre will be the same as $Post.

• $Pre is applied to expressions, while $PreRead is applied to strings which have not yet been parsed into expressions.

• See Section 2.14.1.

• See also: $Post.

• New in Version 1.
