--[[ Strip

This function Strips characters from string

Parameters source: The string to strip chars: The pattern or list of characters to strip from string, replaced with '' plain: A flag indicating that the chars should be understood as plain text. defaults to true.

Leading and trailing whitespace is also automatically stripped from the string. ]] function p.strip( frame ) local new_args = p._getParameters( frame.args, {'source', 'chars', 'plain'} ) local source_str = new_args['source'] or ''; local chars = new_args['chars'] or '' or 'characters'; source_str = mw.text.trim(source_str); if source_str ==  or chars ==  then return source_str; end local l_plain = p._getBoolean( new_args['plain'] or true ); if l_plain then chars = p._escapePattern( chars ); end local result; result = mw.ustring.gsub(source_str, "["..chars.."]", '') return result; end

--[[ Match any Returns the index of the first given pattern to match the input. Patterns must be consecutively numbered. Returns the empty string if nothing matches for use in

Usage: returns '2'.

Parameters: source: the string to search plain: A flag indicating that the patterns should be understood as plain text. defaults to true. 1, 2, 3, ...: the patterns to search for ]] function p.matchAny(frame) local source_str = frame.args['source'] or error('The source parameter is mandatory.') local l_plain = p._getBoolean( frame.args['plain'] or true ) for i = 1, math.huge do		local pattern = frame.args[i] if not pattern then return '' end if mw.ustring.find(source_str, pattern, 1, l_plain) then return tostring(i) end end end
