String handling templates
As of February 2013, these templates are being optimised using Lua modules.
Trim by counting
  • {{Str mid}} – To return a substring, specified by its position and length.
  • {{Trunc}} – To trim down to a specified number of characters.
  • {{Str left}} – To trim down to a specified number of characters, or duplicate the string to a specified number.
  • {{Str crop}} – To crop a specified number of characters off the end.
  • {{Chop head and tail}} – To crop a specified number of characters off the beginning and end.
  • {{Str right}} – To trim the first specified number of characters.
  • {{Str rightc}} – To return a number of characters from the end, returns a parameter if the string is empty.
  • {{Str rightmost}} – To trim down to the last specified number of characters.
  • {{Str sub old}} – To trim down to a specified number, starting at a given number from the left.
  • {{Str sub new}} – Select a substr based on starting and ending index.
  • {{Str index}} – Returns a given character from a string, but not accented letters.
Trim by checking
  • {{Trim}} – To trim any leading or trailing whitespace ({{Strip whitespace}} does so too, but is less effective)

    • Insert strings
  • {{Loop}} – Repeat character string n times
  • {{Replace}} – Returns the string, after replacing all occurrences of a specified string with another string.
  • {{Strloc insert}} – Inserts a string at character location strloc, or appends if strloc<=0.
  • {{Strloc prefix}} – Extracts string prefix up to location strloc, or whole string if strloc<=0.
  • {{Str rep}} – Returns the string, after replacing the first occurrence of a specified string with another string.
    • Length
  • {{Str len}} – Returns a string's length.
  • {{iflenge}} – IF LENgth Greater than or Equal to.
  • {{Str ≥ len}} – To check if a string is "longer or equally long" or "shorter" than a given length.
  • {{Str ≤ len}} – To check if a string is "shorter or equally long" or "longer" than a given length.
  • {{Str ≠ len}} – To check if a string is "not equal" or "equal" to a given length.
  • {{Str ≤ ≥ len}} – To check if a string is "shorter", "equal", or "longer" than a given length.
    • Analyse string
  • {{Str endswith}} – To check if a string ends with a given string.
  • {{Str find}} – Returns the numerical location of a given string in a string.
  • {{Strfind short}} – Returns the numerical location of a given string in a string.

  • {{Str sub find}} – Searches a substring in a string at the given offset.
  • {{ASCII code}} – Returns the ASCII value of a single character.
  • {{Str letter}} – Returns the number of letters that begin a string.
  • {{Str number}} – Returns the number of numbers that begin a string.
  • {{Str gtr str}} – Compares two strings for alphabetical order, and returns a value accordingly.
