The indices are one-based (meaning the first is number one), inclusive (meaning the indices you specify are included), and may be negative to count from the other end. For example, {{#invoke:string|sub|12345678|2|-3}} → 23456. Not all the legacy substring templates use this numbering scheme, so check the documentation of unfamiliar templates.
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
A template to find the numeric position of first appearance of ''sub_string'' in ''text'' Template parameters [Edit template data] Parameter Description Type Status Text 1 The text to search within String required Sub_string 2 The string to be searched within the text String required See also
{{str index|text|number}} = Returns the number-th character of text. Base 1: the first character is numbered 1, and so on. Any leading or trailing whitespace is removed from the string before searching. If the requested position is negative, this function will search the string counting from the last character.
A simple and inefficient way to see where one string occurs inside another is to check at each index, one by one. First, we see if there is a copy of the needle starting at the first character of the haystack; if not, we look to see if there's a copy of the needle starting at the second character of the haystack, and so forth.
In the array containing the E(x, y) values, we then choose the minimal value in the last row, let it be E(x 2, y 2), and follow the path of computation backwards, back to the row number 0. If the field we arrived at was E(0, y 1), then T[y 1 + 1] ... T[y 2] is a substring of T with the minimal edit distance to the pattern P.
Here is how to check if the string "abcde" is exactly 5 characters: {{str ≠ len | abcde | 5 | Not equal. | Equal. }} Which returns this: Equal. Templates have a problem to handle parameter data that contains equal signs "=". But that is easily solved by using numbered parameters. Here we check if the string "ab=cde" is exactly 100 characters:
In order to find the number of occurrences of a given string (length ) in a text (length ), [3] We use binary search against the suffix array of T {\displaystyle T} to find the starting and end position of all occurrences of P {\displaystyle P} .
