  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 stop condition (including items that first matched the start condition).
  
  ```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: «A␤B␤»
  ```
  
  The sed-like version can be found in [fff^](/routine/fff$CIRCUMFLEX_ACCENT).
  
  This operator cannot be overloaded, as it's handled specially by the compiler.
