Modul:String
Author
Albert Flores--[[
This module is intended to provide access to basic string functions.
Most of the functions provided here can be invoked with named parameters, unnamed parameters, or a mixture. If named parameters are used, Mediawiki will automatically remove any leading or trailing whitespace from the parameter. +more Depending on the intended use, it may be advantageous to either preserve or remove such whitespace.
Global options ignore_errors: If set to 'true' or 1, any error condition will result in an empty string being returned rather than an error message.
error_category: If an error occurs, specifies the name of a category to include with the error message. The default category is [Category:Errors reported by Module String].
no_category: If set to 'true' or 1, no category will be added if an error is generated.
Unit tests for this module are available at Module:String/tests. ]]

If_the_requested_indices_are_out_of_range_for_the_given_string,_an_error_is reported. '> sub
This function returns a substring of the target string at specified indices.
Usage:
OR
Parameters s: The string to return a subset of i: The fist index of the substring to return, defaults to 1. j: The last index of the string to return, defaults to the last character.
The first character of the string is assigned an index of 1. If either i or j is a negative value, it is interpreted the same as selecting a character by counting from the end of the string. +more Hence, a value of -1 is the same as selecting the last character of the string.
If the requested indices are out of range for the given string, an error is reported. function str. +moresub( frame ) local new_args = str. _getParameters( frame. args, { 's', 'i', 'j' } ) local s = new_args['s'] or local i = tonumber( new_args['i'] ) or 1 local j = tonumber( new_args['j'] ) or -1.

A_requested_value_of_zero,_or_a_value_greater_than_the_length_of_the_string_returns_an_error. '> pos
This function returns a single character from the target string at position pos.
Usage:
OR
Parameters target: The string to search pos: The index for the character to return
If invoked using named parameters, Mediawiki will automatically remove any leading or trailing whitespace from the target string. In some circumstances this is desirable, in other cases one may want to preserve the whitespace.
The first character has an index value of 1.
If one requests a negative value, this function will select a character by counting backwards from the end of the string. In other words pos = -1 is the same as asking for the last character.
A requested value of zero, or a value greater than the length of the string returns an error. function str. +morepos( frame ) local new_args = str. _getParameters( frame. args, {'target', 'pos'} ) local target_str = new_args['target'] or local pos = tonumber( new_args['pos'] ) or 0.
if pos == 0 or math.abs(pos) > mw.ustring.len( target_str ) then return str._error( 'String index out of range' ) end

If invoked using named parameters, Mediawiki will automatically remove any leading or trailing whitespace from the parameter. In some circumstances this is desirable, in other cases one may want to preserve the whitespace.
This function returns the first index >= "start" where "target" can be found within "source". Indices are 1-based. +more If "target" is not found, then this function returns 0. If either "source" or "target" are missing / empty, this function also returns 0.
