This is a slightly modified version of StringFunctions. Its replace function allows you to use regular expressions as it uses preg_replace.

This allows to make systematic replacements within a text, like in the followng example:

  • we have a string consisting of comma sepoarated words
  • we want to convert the words into hyperlinks to articles
  • so that Main Page, DPL:Manual, Special:Recent Changes would become
  • {{#vardefine:x|Main Page, DPL:Manual, Special:Recent Changes}}{{#replace:{{#replace:{{#var:x}},|/ *([^,]+)/| \1}}|/,$/|}}

The code looks like this

 {{#replace:{{#replace:{{{1|}}},|/ *([^,]+)/| [[\1]]}}|/,$/|}}

The inner replace looks for comma separated tokerns and puts brackets around them. It adds a final comma to the sesarch string so that also the last token matches. The outer replace statement removes that final comma again.

<?php /*

Defines a subset of parser functions that operate with strings.

{{#len:value}}

Returns the length of the given value.
See: http://php.net/manual/function.strlen.php


{{#pos:value|key|offset}}

Returns the first position of key inside the given value, or an empty string.
If offset is defined, this method will not search the first offset characters.
See: http://php.net/manual/function.strpos.php


{{#rpos:value|key}}

Returns the last position of key inside the given value, or -1 if the key is
not found. When using this to search for the last delimiter, add +1 to the
result to retreive position after the last delimiter. This also works when
the delimiter is not found, because "-1 + 1" is zero, which is the beginning
of the given value.
See: http://php.net/manual/function.strrpos.php


{{#sub:value|start|length}}

Returns a substring of the given value with the given starting position and
length. If length is omitted, this returns the rest of the string.
See: http://php.net/manual/function.substr.php


{{#pad:value|length|with|direction}}

Returns the value padded to the certain length with the given with string.
If the with string is not given, spaces are used for padding. The direction
may be specified as: 'left', 'center' or 'right'.
See: http://php.net/manual/function.str-pad.php


{{#replace:value|from|to}}

Returns the given value with all occurences of 'from' replaced with 'to'.
See: http://php.net/manual/function.str-replace.php


{{#explode:value|delimiter|position}}

Splits the given value into pieces by the given delimiter and returns the
position-th piece. Empty string is returned if there are not enough pieces.
Note: Pieces are counted from 0.
See: http://php.net/manual/function.explode.php


{{#urlencode:value}}

URL-encodes the given value.
See: http://php.net/manual/function.urlencode.php


{{#urldecode:value}}

URL-decodes the given value.
See: http://php.net/manual/function.urldecode.php
