Module:String - RimWorld Wiki (2024)

--[[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 willautomatically remove any leading or trailing whitespace from the parameter.Depending on the intended use, it may be advantageous to either preserve orremove such whitespace.Global options 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 include with the error message. The default category is [Category:Errors reported by Module String]. no_category: If set to 'true' or 1, no category will be added if an error is generated.Unit tests for this module are available at Module:String/tests.]]local str = {}--[[_matchThis function returns a substring from the source string that matches aspecified pattern. It is exported for use in other modulesUsage:strmatch = require("Module:String")._matchsresult = strmatch( s, pattern, start, match, plain, nomatch )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.For information on constructing Lua patterns, a form of [regular expression], see:* http://www.lua.org/manual/5.1/manual.html#5.4.1* http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Scribunto/Lua_reference_manual#Patterns* http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Scribunto/Lua_reference_manual#Ustring_patterns]]-- This sub-routine is exported for use in other modulesfunction str._match( s, pattern, start, match_index, plain_flag, nomatch )if s == '' thenreturn str._error( 'Target string is empty' )endif pattern == '' thenreturn str._error( 'Pattern string is empty' )endstart = tonumber(start) or 1if math.abs(start) < 1 or math.abs(start) > mw.ustring.len( s ) thenreturn str._error( 'Requested start is out of range' )endif match_index == 0 thenreturn str._error( 'Match index is out of range' )endif plain_flag thenpattern = str._escapePattern( pattern )endlocal resultif match_index == 1 then-- Find first match is simple caseresult = mw.ustring.match( s, pattern, start )elseif start > 1 thens = mw.ustring.sub( s, start )endlocal iterator = mw.ustring.gmatch(s, pattern)if match_index > 0 then-- Forward searchfor w in iterator domatch_index = match_index - 1if match_index == 0 thenresult = wbreakendendelse-- Reverse searchlocal result_table = {}local count = 1for w in iterator doresult_table[count] = wcount = count + 1endresult = result_table[ count + match_index ]endendif result == nil thenif nomatch == nil thenreturn str._error( 'Match not found' )elsereturn nomatchendelsereturn resultendend--[[matchThis function returns a substring from the source string that matches aspecified 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.
