This is the {{Str startswith}} meta-template.. It returns "yes" if the second parameter is the start of the first parameter. Both parameters are trimmed before use. Examples
This template determines whether the first word in the argument provided begins with a vowel or consonant and returns with it "a" or "an" depending on the assessment. Usage In general, it returns "an" if the first letter is a, e, i, o , or u , and "a" if any other:
The template takes a substring of ''text'' starting at ''start'' and containing ''length'' characters. Template parameters Parameter Description Type Status Text 1 The substring to be trimmed. String required Numeric position 2 Numeric position of the starting character within the string Number required Count 3 Number of characters for the substring Number required See also
The simplest operation is taking a substring, a snippet of the string taken at a certain offset (called an "index") from the start or end. There are a number of legacy templates offering this but for new code use {{#invoke:String|sub|string|startIndex|endIndex}}. The indices are one-based (meaning the first is number one), inclusive (meaning ...
String datatypes have historically allocated one byte per character, and, although the exact character set varied by region, character encodings were similar enough that programmers could often get away with ignoring this, since characters a program treated specially (such as period and space and comma) were in the same place in all the ...
COBOL: String constants may be continued by not ending the original string in a PICTURE clause with ', then inserting a -in column 7 (same position as the * for comment is used.) TUTOR: Lines starting with a tab (after any indentation required by the context) continue the prior command. [End and Begin] using normal quotes
PHP generally follows C syntax, with exceptions and enhancements for its main use in web development, which makes heavy use of string manipulation. PHP variables must be prefixed by "$". This allows PHP to perform string interpolation in double quoted strings, where backslash is supported as an escape character.
COBOL uses the STRING statement to concatenate string variables. MATLAB and Octave use the syntax "[x y]" to concatenate x and y. Visual Basic and Visual Basic .NET can also use the "+" sign but at the risk of ambiguity if a string representing a number and a number are together. Microsoft Excel allows both "&" and the function "=CONCATENATE(X,Y)".
