  See primary documentation
  [in context](/language/operators#infix_^ff)
  for **infix ^ff**.
  
  ```raku
  sub infix:<^ff>(Mu $a, Mu $b)
  ```
  
  Works like [ff](/routine/ff), except it does not return `True` for items matching the start condition (including items also matching the stop condition).
  
  A comparison:
  
  ```raku
  my @list = <X A B C Y>;
  say $_ if /A/ ff /C/ for @list;    # OUTPUT: «A␤B␤C␤»
  say $_ if /A/ ^ff /C/ for @list;   # OUTPUT: «B␤C␤»
  ```
  
  The sed-like version can be found in [`^fff`](/routine/$CIRCUMFLEX_ACCENTfff).
  
  This operator cannot be overloaded, as it's handled specially by the compiler.
