Template:Str find

[VIEW] [EDIT] Template documentation

This template uses Lua:

Module:String

Usage

{{Str find|text|sub_string}} = Position of first appearance of sub_string in text.

Examples

In the examples, the string to be searched is <syntaxhighlight lang="text" class="" id="" style="" inline="1">Abcdefghijklm</syntaxhighlight>:

A; 1
a; -1
def; 4
klm; 11
zyx; -1
empty;klm;-1
empty;empty; 1

Case sensitive.
Returns -1 if sub_string not found
Character position is 1 based (not 0 based as usual in calculations).
Warning: if sub_string is empty, then this routine will return 1 !!! This case will often have to be handled specially.
