Template:Str count

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

This template is used on approximately 165,000 pages.
To avoid major disruption and server load, any changes should be tested in the template's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own user subpage. The tested changes can be added to this page in a single edit. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them.

This template uses Lua:

Module:String (sandbox)

This string handling template returns the number of times that a pattern or search-string occurs in a source string. Counts non-overlapping matches only.

Usage

{{Str count|source string|pattern|plain_flag}}

If there is no occurrence of the source string in the pattern, this template returns 0.

Parameters

There are three parameters; the first two are required:

|source= – the source string. Required; alias: |1=.
|pattern= – the search-string or pattern to look for in the source string. Required; alias: |2=.
|plain= – a boolean flag indicating that pattern should be understood as plain text and not as a Scribunto ustring pattern (a unicode-friendly Lua-style regular expression). Optional; default: true.
