မဝ်ဂျူ:string utilities

Provides some utility functions for manipulating strings.

Functions

export.explode_utf8

function export.explode_utf8(str)

Explodes a string into an array of UTF-8 characters. Warning: this function has no safety checks for non-UTF-8 byte sequences, to optimize speed and memory use. Inputs containing them therefore result in undefined behaviour.

export.pattern_escape

function export.pattern_escape(str)

Escapes the magic characters used in patterns (Lua's version of regular expressions): $%()*+-.?[]^, and converts the null character to %z. For example, "^$()%.[]*+-?\0" becomes "%^%$%(%)%%%.%[%]%*%+%-%?%z". This is necessary when constructing a pattern involving arbitrary text (e.g. from user input).

export.charset_escape

function export.charset_escape(str)

Escapes the magic characters used in pattern character sets: %-]^, and converts the null character to %z.

export.replacement_escape

function export.replacement_escape(str)

Escapes only %, which is the only magic character used in replacement patterns with string.gsub and mw.ustring.gsub.

export.len

function export.len(str)

This function lacks documentation. Please add a description of its usages, inputs and outputs, or its difference from similar functions, or make it local to remove it from the function list.

export.sub

function export.sub(str, i, j)

This function lacks documentation. Please add a description of its usages, inputs and outputs, or its difference from similar functions, or make it local to remove it from the function list.

export.find

function export.find(str, pattern, init, plain)

A version of find which uses string.find when possible, but otherwise uses mw.ustring.find.

export.match

function export.match(str, pattern, init)

A version of match which uses string.match when possible, but otherwise uses mw.ustring.match.

export.gmatch

function export.gmatch(str, pattern)

A version of gmatch which uses string.gmatch when possible, but otherwise uses mw.ustring.gmatch.

export.gsub

function export.gsub(str, pattern, repl, n)

A version of gsub which uses string.gsub when possible, but otherwise uses mw.ustring.gsub.

export.plain_gsub

function export.plain_gsub(str, pattern, repl, n)

Like gsub, but pattern-matching facilities are turned off, so pattern and repl (if a string) are treated as literal.

export.reverse

function export.reverse(str)

Reverses a UTF-8 string; equivalent to string.reverse.

export.char

function export.char(cp, ...)

This function lacks documentation. Please add a description of its usages, inputs and outputs, or its difference from similar functions, or make it local to remove it from the function list.

export.codepoint

function export.codepoint(str, i, j)

This function lacks documentation. Please add a description of its usages, inputs and outputs, or its difference from similar functions, or make it local to remove it from the function list.

export.gcodepoint

function export.gcodepoint(str, i, j)

This function lacks documentation. Please add a description of its usages, inputs and outputs, or its difference from similar functions, or make it local to remove it from the function list.

export.lower

function export.lower(str)

A version of lower which uses string.lower when possible, but otherwise uses mw.ustring.lower.

export.upper

function export.upper(str)

A version of upper which uses string.upper when possible, but otherwise uses mw.ustring.upper.

export.split

function export.split(str, pattern, str_lib, plain)

Reimplementation of mw.text.split() that includes any capturing groups in the splitting pattern. This works like Python's re.split() function, except that it has Lua's behavior when the split pattern is empty (i.e. advancing by one character at a time; Python returns the whole remainder of the string). When possible, it will use the string library, but otherwise uses the ustring library. There are two optional parameters: str_lib forces use of the string library, while plain turns any pattern matching facilities off, treating pattern as literal. In addition, pattern may be a custom find function, which takes the input string and start index as its two arguments, and must return the start and end index of the match, plus any optional captures, or nil if there are no further matches. By default, the start index will be calculated using the ustring library, unless str_lib or plain is set.

export.gsplit

function export.gsplit(str, pattern, str_lib, plain)

This function lacks documentation. Please add a description of its usages, inputs and outputs, or its difference from similar functions, or make it local to remove it from the function list.

export.trim

function export.trim(str, charset)

This function lacks documentation. Please add a description of its usages, inputs and outputs, or its difference from similar functions, or make it local to remove it from the function list.

export.decode_entities

function export.decode_entities(str)

This function lacks documentation. Please add a description of its usages, inputs and outputs, or its difference from similar functions, or make it local to remove it from the function list.

export.encode_entities

function export.encode_entities(str, charset, str_lib, plain)

This function lacks documentation. Please add a description of its usages, inputs and outputs, or its difference from similar functions, or make it local to remove it from the function list.

export.decode_uri

function export.decode_uri(str, enctype)

This function lacks documentation. Please add a description of its usages, inputs and outputs, or its difference from similar functions, or make it local to remove it from the function list.

export.remove_comments

function export.remove_comments(str, stage)

Removes any HTML comments from the input text. stage can be one of three options:

"PRE" (default) applies the method used by MediaWiki's preprocessor: all  pairs are removed, as well as any text after an unclosed <!--. This is generally suitable when parsing raw template or parser extension tag code. (Note, however, that the actual method used by the preprocessor is considerably more complex and differs under certain conditions (e.g. comments inside nowiki tags); if full accuracy is absolutely necessary, use Module:template parser instead).
"POST" applies the method used to generate the final page output once all templates have been expanded: it loops over the text, removing any  pairs until no more are found (e.g. <!-- ... --> would be fully removed), but any unclosed <!-- is ignored. This is suitable for handling links embedded in template inputs, where the "PRE" method will have already been applied by the native parser.
"BOTH" applies "PRE" then "POST".

export.php_trim

function export.php_trim(str)

Lua equivalent of PHP's trim($string), which trims "\0", "\t", "\n", "\v", "\r" and " ". This is useful when dealing with template parameters, since the native parser trims them like this.

export.scribunto_param_key

function export.scribunto_param_key(key, no_trim)

Takes a parameter name as either a string or number, and returns the Scribunto-normalized form (i.e. the key that that parameter would have in a frame.args table). For example, "1" (a string) is normalized to 1 (a number), " foo " is normalized to "foo", and 1.5 (a number) is normalized to "1.5" (a string). Inputs which cannot be normalized (e.g. booleans) return nil. If the no_trim flag is set, string parameters are not trimmed, but strings may still be converted to numbers if they do not contain whitespace; this is necessary when normalizing keys into the form received by PHP during callbacks, before any trimming occurs (e.g. in the table of arguments when calling frame:expandTemplates()).

Strings are trimmed with export.php_trim, unless the no_trim flag is set. They are then converted to numbers if all of the following are true:

They are integers; i.e. no decimals or leading zeroes (e.g. "2", but not "2.0" or "02").
They are ≤ 2⁵³ and ≥ -2⁵³.
There is no leading sign unless < 0 (e.g. "2" or "-2", but not "+2" or "-0").
They contain no leading or trailing whitespace (which may be present when the no_trim flag is set).

Numbers are converted to strings if either:

They are not integers (e.g. 1.5).
They are > 2⁵³ or < -2⁵³.

When converted to strings, integers ≤ 2⁶³ and ≥ -2⁶³ are formatted as integers (i.e. all digits are given), which is the range of PHP's integer precision, though the actual output may be imprecise since Lua's integer precision is > 2⁵³ to < -2⁵³. All other numbers use the standard formatting output by tostring().

export.escape_bytes

function export.escape_bytes(str)

This function lacks documentation. Please add a description of its usages, inputs and outputs, or its difference from similar functions, or make it local to remove it from the function list.

export.format_fun

function export.format_fun(str, fun)

This function lacks documentation. Please add a description of its usages, inputs and outputs, or its difference from similar functions, or make it local to remove it from the function list.

export.format

function export.format(str, tbl)

This function, unlike string.format and mw.ustring.format, takes just two parameters—a format string and a table—and replaces all instances of {param_name} in the format string with the table's entry for param_name. The opening and closing brace characters can be escaped with \op and \cl, respectively. A table entry beginning with a slash can be escaped by doubling the initial slash. ====Examples====

string_utilities.format("{foo} fish, {bar} fish, {baz} fish, {quux} fish", {["foo"]="one", ["bar"]="two", ["baz"]="red", ["quux"]="blue"})
produces: "one fish, two fish, red fish, blue fish"
string_utilities.format("The set {\\op}1, 2, 3{\\cl} contains {\\\\hello} elements.", {["\\hello"]="three"})
produces: "The set {1, 2, 3} contains three elements."
- Note that the single and double backslashes should be entered as double and quadruple backslashes when quoted in a literal string.

export.ucfirst

function export.ucfirst(str)

This function lacks documentation. Please add a description of its usages, inputs and outputs, or its difference from similar functions, or make it local to remove it from the function list.

export.lcfirst

function export.lcfirst(str)

This function lacks documentation. Please add a description of its usages, inputs and outputs, or its difference from similar functions, or make it local to remove it from the function list.

export.capitalize

function export.capitalize(str)

Capitalize each word of a string. WARNING: May be broken in the presence of multiword links.

export.pluralize

function export.pluralize(str)

This function lacks documentation. Please add a description of its usages, inputs and outputs, or its difference from similar functions, or make it local to remove it from the function list.

export.singularize

function export.singularize(str)

Singularize a word in a smart fashion, according to normal English rules. Works analogously to pluralize().

NOTE: This doesn't always work as well as pluralize(). Beware. It will mishandle cases like "passes" -> "passe", "eyries" -> "eyry".

If word ends in -ies, replace -ies with -y.
If the word ends in -xes, -shes, -ches, remove -es. [Does not affect -ses, cf. "houses", "impasses".]
Otherwise, remove -s.

This handles links correctly:

If a piped link, change the second part appropriately. Collapse the link to a simple link if both parts end up the same.
If a non-piped link, singularize the link.
A link like "parishes" will be handled correctly because the code that checks for -shes etc. allows ] characters between the 'sh' etc. and final -es.

export.get_indefinite_article

function export.get_indefinite_article(str, ucfirst)

Return the appropriate indefinite article to prefix to str. Correctly handles links and capitalized text. Does not correctly handle words like union, uniform and university that take "a" despite beginning with a 'u'. The returned article will have its first letter capitalized if ucfirst is specified, otherwise lowercase.

export.add_indefinite_article

function export.add_indefinite_article(text, ucfirst)

Prefix text with the appropriate indefinite article to prefix to text. Correctly handles links and capitalized text. Does not correctly handle words like union, uniform and university that take "a" despite beginning with a 'u'. The returned article will have its first letter capitalized if ucfirst is specified, otherwise lowercase.

Inputs which cannot be normalized (e.g. booleans) return {{lua|nil}}. If the `no_trim` flag is set, string parameters are not trimmed, but strings may still be converted to numbers if they do not contain whitespace; this is necessary when normalizing keys into the form received by PHP during callbacks, before any trimming occurs (e.g. in the table of arguments when calling {{lua|frame:expandTemplates()}}).

Strings are trimmed with {{lua|export.php_trim}}, unless the `no_trim` flag is set. They are then converted to numbers if '''all''' of the following are true:
# They are integers; i.e. no decimals or leading zeroes (e.g. {{lua|"2"}}, but not {{lua|"2.0"}} or {{lua|"02"}}).
# They are ≤ 2{{sup|53}} and ≥ -2{{sup|53}}.
# There is no leading sign unless < 0 (e.g. {{lua|"2"}} or {{lua|"-2"}}, but not {{lua|"+2"}} or {{lua|"-0"}}).
# They contain no leading or trailing whitespace (which may be present when the `no_trim` flag is set).

Numbers are converted to strings if '''either''':
# They are not integers (e.g. {{lua|1.5}}).
# They are > 2{{sup|53}} or < -2{{sup|53}}.

When converted to strings, integers ≤ 2{{sup|63}} and ≥ -2{{sup|63}} are formatted as integers (i.e. all digits are given), which is the range of PHP's integer precision, though the actual output may be imprecise since Lua's integer precision is > 2{{sup|53}} to < -2{{sup|53}}.

	'''NOTE''': This doesn't always work as well as {pluralize()}. Beware. It will mishandle cases like "passes" -> "passe", "eyries" -> "eyry".
	# If word ends in -ies, replace -ies with -y.
	# If the word ends in -xes, -shes, -ches, remove -es. [Does not affect -ses, cf. "houses", "impasses".]
	# Otherwise, remove -s.

	This handles links correctly:
	# If a piped link, change the second part appropriately. Collapse the link to a simple link if both parts end up the same.
	# If a non-piped link, singularize the link.
	# A link like "[[parish]]es" will be handled correctly because the code that checks for -shes etc. allows ] characters between the
	  'sh' etc. and final -es.

Return the appropriate indefinite article to prefix to `str`. Correctly handles links and capitalized text.
Does not correctly handle words like [[union]], [[uniform]] and [[university]] that take "a" despite beginning with
a 'u'. The returned article will have its first letter capitalized if `ucfirst` is specified, otherwise lowercase.
