This template removes the last word of the first parameter, i.e. the last non-space token after the last space. Use |1= for the first parameter if the string may contain an equals sign (=). By default, words are delimited by spaces, but the optional parameter |sep= can set the separator to any character.
On Wikipedia you can use a limited version of regex called a Lua pattern to select and modify bits of text from a string. The pattern is a piece of code describing what you are looking for in the string. The symbols you an use in a pattern are: . means any individual character. ... would mean any three characters, etc. *, +, ?, and -are the ...
For example, PHP and Python allow this optional parameter, while Pascal and Java do not. With Common Lisp's string-trim function, the parameter (called character-bag) is required. The C++ Boost library defines space characters according to locale, as well as offering variants with a predicate parameter (a functor) to select which characters are ...
The template trims leading and trailing square brackets from a string. Template parameters [Edit template data] Parameter Description Type Status String 1 The string to be trimmed String required See also {{ delink }}, which does nearly the exact same thing, but also removes balanced pairs of square brackets that aren't leading and trailing and has additional options. {{ trim }} {{ Escape page ...
The template takes a substring of ''text'' starting at ''start'' and containing ''length'' characters. Template parameters [Edit template data] 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 length of a string is found by searching for the (first) NUL. This can be slow as it takes O(n) (linear time) with respect to the string length. It also means that a string cannot contain a NUL (there is a NUL in memory, but it is after the last character, not in the string).
If string is not found, it outputs zero (0). The word "short" in the title is a relic of the pre- Lua implementation and has no meaning for the current version. This template is a simple wrapper around {{ #invoke:string |find}}, which may be used directly for more options.
The ability to represent a null character does not always mean the resulting string will be correctly interpreted, as many programs will consider the null to be the end of the string. Thus the ability to type it (in case of unchecked user input ) creates a vulnerability known as null byte injection and can lead to security exploits.
