Template documentation

Usage

{{Str find|text|sub_string}} = Position of first appearance of sub_string in text.

Examples

In the examples, the string to be searched is Abcdefghijklm:

• A; {{#invoke:String|str_find|source=Abcdefghijklm|A}}
• a; {{#invoke:String|str_find|source=Abcdefghijklm|a}}
• def; {{#invoke:String|str_find|source=Abcdefghijklm|def}}
• klm; {{#invoke:String|str_find|source=Abcdefghijklm|klm}}
• zyx; {{#invoke:String|str_find|source=Abcdefghijklm|zyx}}
• empty;klm;{{#invoke:String|str_find|source=|klm}}
• empty;empty; {{#invoke:String|str_find|source=|}}

• Case sensitive.
• Returns -1 if sub_string not found
• Character position is 1 based (not 0 based as usual in calculations).
• Warning: if sub_string is empty, then this routine will return 1 !!! This case will often have to be handled specially.
