This template will allow manipulation or retrieve properties of an array list with a designated separator. It handles three functions: count, get and pos.
Usage
[kulemba source]{{Array|<Function>|<Array items>|<Separator>|<Property>|Parameters (optional)}}
5th parameter only valid with pos function when limiting multiple outputs to a single position.
Functions
[kulemba source]- Count
Will count the total number of items in the array using the designated separator. Leading or trailing separators will be stripped out.
{{Array|count|This is my array| }}→ 4
{{Array|count|An,array,separated,by,commas|,}}→ 5
{{Array|count|,An,array,with,trailing,commas,|,}}→ 5
- Get
Will get the Nth item in the array.
{{Array|get|My,wiki,test,array|,|3}}→ test
{{Array|get|A.list.of.dot.separated.items|.|2}}→ list
{{Array|get|A sentence of typical words| |5}}→ words
- Pos
Will retrieve the Nth position of the search item. If duplicates are found, will output all results with the designated separator. Output can be limited by specifying a 5th parameter. Can be used as true or false if output exists to determine if a match exists.
Do not use the ^ character as this is used as a placeholder.
{{Array|pos|A sentence of typical words| |sentence}}→ 2
{{Array|pos|A.wiki.test.string.in.a.test.array|.|unmatched}}→
{{Array|pos|A.wiki.test.string.in.a.test.array|.|test}}→ 3.7
{{Array|pos|Position,of,the,second,test,in,a,test,array|,|test|2}}→ 8
{{Array|pos|2,4,6,6,7,11,12|,|7}}→ 5
{{Array|pos|2,4,6,6,7,11,12|,|6|2}}→ 4
