Template:Str sub new/doc

This template selects a sub-string from the target string based on selected indices. The indices are 1-based. If the end index is omitted, it returns the rest of the string. One can also specify negative indices, in which case the substr is selected by counting from the end of the string.

Usage

{{str sub new|target_string|start_index|end_index}}

{{str sub new|s=target_string|i=start_index|j=end_index}}

Examples

Unnamed parameters

{{str sub new|1234567890|3|7}}

34567

{{str sub new|1234567890|3|-3}}

{{str sub new|1234567890|3}}

34567890

{{str sub new|1234567890|12}}

Named parameters

{{Str sub new|s=abcd=fgh|i=3|j=7}}

cd=fg

Equivalent to:

{{#invoke:string|sub|s=abcd=fgh|i=3|j=7}}

cd=fg

Named parameters are required if the target string contains an wikipedia:equals sign, where unnamed or numbered parameters will not work as expected:

{{str sub new|abcd=fgh|3|7}}

{{str sub new|1=abcd=fgh|2=3|3=7}}

cd=fg
