This module is intended to provide access to basic string functions.
 
Most of the functions provided here can be invoked with named parameters,
unnamed parameters, or a mixture.  If named parameters are used, Mediawiki will
automatically remove any leading or trailing whitespace from the parameter.
Depending on the intended use, it may be advantageous to either preserve or
remove such whitespace.


-- Cannot include null byte.
Global options
local UTF8_char = "[\1-\127\194-\244][\128-\191]*"
    ignore_errors: If set to 'true' or 1, any error condition will result in
        an empty string being returned rather than an error message.


--[[
    error_category: If an error occurs, specifies the name of a category to
ulen
        include with the error message.  The default category is
        [Category:Errors reported by Module String].


Counts UTF-8 characters. Faster than mw.ustring.len.
    no_category: If set to 'true' or 1, no category will be added if an error
        is generated.


Assumes that the encoding is correct. Unlike mw.ustring.len, does not return nil
Unit tests for this module are available at Module:String/tests.

Does not count the bytes 192, 193, and 245-255. They are not used in UTF-8 and

will not occur if the string is valid. They are replaced with the replacement
character (U+FFFD) on MediaWiki pages.

If the match_number or start_index are out of range for the string being queried, then

If one adds the parameter ignore_errors=true, then the error will be suppressed and
an empty string will be returned on any failure.

match
This function returns a substring from the source string that matches a
specified pattern.
Usage:
{{#invoke:String|match|source_string|pattern_string|start_index|match_number|plain_flag|nomatch_output}}
OR
{{#invoke:String|match|s=source_string|pattern=pattern_string|start=start_index
    |match=match_number|plain=plain_flag|nomatch=nomatch_output}}
Parameters
    s: The string to search
    pattern: The pattern or string to find within the string
    start: The index within the source string to start the search.  The first
        character of the string has index 1.  Defaults to 1.
    match: In some cases it may be possible to make multiple matches on a single
        string.  This specifies which match to return, where the first match is
        match= 1.  If a negative number is specified then a match is returned
        counting from the last match.  Hence match = -1 is the same as requesting
        the last match.  Defaults to 1.
    plain: A flag indicating that the pattern should be understood as plain
        text.  Defaults to false.
    nomatch: If no match is found, output the "nomatch" value rather than an error.
If invoked using named parameters, Mediawiki will automatically remove any leading or
trailing whitespace from each string.  In some circumstances this is desirable, in
other cases one may want to preserve the whitespace.
If the match_number or start_index are out of range for the string being queried, then
this function generates an error.  An error is also generated if no match is found.
If one adds the parameter ignore_errors=true, then the error will be suppressed and
an empty string will be returned on any failure.

--[=[
Similar to gmatch, but it returns the count of the match in addition to the
list of captures, something like ipairs().
If the pattern doesn't contain any captures, the whole match is returned.
Invoke thus:
for i, whole_match in require("Module:string").imatch(text, pattern) do
[ do something with i and whole_match ]
end
or
for i, capture1[, capture2[, capture3[, ...]]] in require("Module:string").imatch(text, pattern) do
[ do something with i and capture1 ]
end
For example, this code
for i, whole_match in require("Module:string").imatch("a b c", "[a-z]") do
mw.log(i, whole_match)
end
will log
1 a
2 b
3 c
