మాడ్యూల్:Ustring

మాడ్యూల్ డాక్యుమెంటేషన్[view] [edit] [చరిత్ర] [purge]

This module directly imports all functions from the mw.ustring library. Documentation for each function can be found there.

The module takes an indefinite number of arguments. All arguments are coerced as number type if possible. If you wish for something to remain a string, you can simply escape it by insert \ at the beginning of the string.

You can also wrap results in tags. All non-number indexed arguments will be passed to frame:extensionTag

Usage

{{#invoke:Ustring|function_name|arg1|arg2|...}} is equivalent to mw.ustring.function_name( arg1, arg2, ... )

Example using mw.ustring.sub

{{#invoke:Ustring|sub|abcde|2|4}}

produces:

bcd

Example using mw.ustring.gsub

{{#invoke:Ustring|gsub|1234|23|}}

produces:

14

Example using mw.ustring.char

&#{{#invoke:ustring|char|49|48|59}}

produces:




This is nice for escaping character sequences in other modules; for example:

p = {}
function p.main(frame)
  local str = '1-2-2{{#invoke:ustring|char|45}}1-3'
  return frame:preprocess(str:gsub('-', '/'))-- == '1/2/2-1/3'
end
return p

Example using mw.ustring.match

{{#invoke:Ustring|match|abcde|(c%w)}}

produces:

cd

Note: Only the first match is returned. Additional returns are omitted because mw.ustring.gsub's second return value is generally undesirable.

Example using tag arguments

{{#invoke:Ustring|match
|{{Module:Ustring}}|%s%sif.+%
<!--enter an actual newline character to match '\n'-->%s%send
|tag=syntaxhighlight|lang=lua}}

produces:

		if type(what) ~= "function" then
			return what
		end
		return function(frame)
			local fargs = frame.args
			local fargsused = { tag = true }
			local args = {}
			local str_i = 1
			while fargs['s' .. str_i] do
				fargsused['s' .. str_i] = true
				args[str_i] = fargs['s' .. str_i]
				str_i = str_i + 1
			end
			for i, v in ipairs(fargs) do
				fargsused[i] = true
				args[i + str_i - 1] = tonumber(v) or v:gsub("^\\", "", 1)
			end
			if not fargs.tag then
				return (what(unpack(args)))		-- Outside parens truncate to first result avoiding tail call
			end
			local tagargs = {}
			for x, y in pairs(fargs) do
				if not fargsused[x] then tagargs[x] = y end
			end
			return frame:extensionTag{name = fargs.tag, content = what(unpack(args)), args = tagargs}
		end

Note that:

<syntaxhighlight lang="lua">{{#invoke:Ustring|match
|{{Module:Ustring}}|%s%sif.+%
<!--enter an actual newline character to match '\n'-->%s%send}}</syntaxhighlight>

produces:

{{#invoke:Ustring|match
|{{Module:Ustring}}|%s%sif.+%
<!--enter an actual newline character to match '\n'-->%s%send}}
