සැකිල්ල:Substr any/doc

The substring Template:Substr_any extracts a substring of any characters, including accented letters, for a specified offset and length.

Usage

{{substr_any|text|offset|length}} = Substring of text starting at offset and containing length characters.

Offset from 0: the first character is numbered 0, and so on. The offset + length must be less than 50. Operates on an extended character set, including accented letters, if listed in Template:Str index/getchar.

Examples

{{substr_any|ABCDEFÄÖÜ |5|2}}  returns 2 letters "FÄ".

{{substr_any|ABCDEFÄÖöÜüÑñß |8|4}}  returns the 4 characters starting at the 9th, "öÜüÑ".

{{substr_any|XYZÈèĖėÇç |5|10}}  returns 4 letters "ĖėÇç" as too short for 10.

Easy to use and efficient string length comparison templates:

• {{str ≥ len}} – To check if a string is "longer or equally long" vs. "shorter" than a given length.
• {{str ≤ len}} – To check if a string is "shorter or equally long" vs. "longer" than a given length.
• {{str ≠ len}} – To check if a string is "not equal" vs. "equal" to a given length.
• {{str ≤ ≥ len}} – To check all three of "shorter", "equal" and "longer" at the same time.

Much less efficient string length template:

• {{str len}} – Takes a string as parameter and returns its length. Can count up to 500 in length.
