(Undid revision 886758119 by Ans (talk) The thing is, though, that Module:Ustring is the only module on all of Wikipedia that calls Module:LuaCall, so no "common code" argument can be made with p.import, which is in any case out of scope of the module)

This module directly imports all functions from the

  1. redirect Template:Scribunto library. Documentation for each function can be found there.

The module takes an indefinite number of arguments. All arguments are coerced as number type if possible. If you wish for something to remain a string, you can simply escape it by insert \ at the beginning of the string.

You can also wrap results in tags. All non-number indexed arguments will be passed to

  1. redirect Template:Scribunto

Usage

{{#invoke:Ustring|function_name|arg1|arg2|...}} is equivalent to

  1. redirect Template:Scribunto

Example using mw.ustring.sub

{{#invoke:Ustring|sub|abcde|2|4}}

produces:

bcd

Example using mw.ustring.gsub

{{#invoke:Ustring|gsub|1234|23|}}

produces:

14

Example using mw.ustring.char

&#{{#invoke:ustring|char|49|48|59}}

produces:




This is nice for escaping character sequences in other modules; for example:

p = {}
function p.main(frame)
  local str = '1-2-2{{#invoke:ustring|char|45}}1-3'
  return frame:preprocess(str:gsub('-', '/'))-- == '1/2/2-1/3'
end
return p

Example using mw.ustring.match

{{#invoke:Ustring|match|abcde|(c%w)}}

produces:

cd

Note: Only the first match is returned. Additional returns are omitted because mw.ustring.gsub's second return value is generally undesirable.

Example using tag arguments

{{#invoke:Ustring|match
|{{Module:Ustring}}|%s%s%sif%snot%s[^%s]+%sthen.+%
<!--enter an actual newline character to match '\n'-->%s%s%send
|tag=syntaxhighlight|lang=lua}}

produces:

			if not args.tag then
				return (what(unpack(args)))
			end
			local tagargs = {}
			for x, y in pairs(args) do
				if type(x) ~= 'number' and x ~= 'tag' then tagargs[x] = y end
			end

Note that:

<syntaxhighlight lang="lua">{{#invoke:Ustring|match
|{{Module:Ustring}}|%s%s%sif%snot%s[^%s]+%sthen.+%
<!--enter an actual newline character to match '\n'-->%s%s%send}}</syntaxhighlight>

produces:

{{#invoke:Ustring|match
|{{Module:Ustring}}|%s%s%sif%snot%s[^%s]+%sthen.+%
<!--enter an actual newline character to match '\n'-->%s%s%send}}

Errors

Errors from accessing

  1. redirect Template:Scribunto should be maintained, e.g.:

{{#invoke:Ustring|xyzzy}}

should produce:

Template:Script error

and

{{#invoke:Ustring|maxPatternLength}}

should produce:

Template:Script error
