Template:In String

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

This template is used on approximately 114,000 pages.
To avoid major disruption and server load, any changes should be tested in the template's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own user subpage. The tested changes can be added to this page in a single edit. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them.

This template can only be edited by administrators because it is transcluded onto one or more cascade-protected pages.

This template uses Lua:

Module:String (sandbox)

This template wraps the function {{#invoke:String|find|...}}, and provides the extra option to return an alternative string (including a blank string) when nothing is found.

Usage

{{In string|source_string|target_string|start_index|plain_flag|nomatch_returntext}}

{{In string|source=source_string |target=target_string |start=start_index |plain=plain_flag |nomatch=nomatch_returntext}}

{{In string
|source= 
|target= 
|start= 
|plain=
|nomatch=
}}

By default, when the target is not found, 0 is returned.

Set |nomatch=anytext to replace that 0. Also, |nomatch= <blank> returns blank not 0.

Note: outer spaces are not conserved.
Using the nomatch option

{{#if:{{in string|source=pancake|target=pizza|plain=true|nomatch=}}|Is a pizza|Not a pizza}} → Not a pizza

{{#if:{{in string|source=Hawaiian pizza|target=pizza|plain=true|nomatch=}}|Is a pizza|Not a pizza}} → Is a pizza
