<p>elaborate</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>{{Documentation subpage}}<br /> {{Lua|Module:String}}<br /> <br /> {{tlx|strfind short|&#039;&#039;target&#039;&#039;|&#039;&#039;string&#039;&#039;}} outputs the position in &#039;&#039;target&#039;&#039; where &#039;&#039;string&#039;&#039; first appears (e.g. an output of &quot;3&quot; would mean beginning at the third character in &#039;&#039;target&#039;&#039;). If &#039;&#039;string&#039;&#039; is not found, it outputs zero (0). The word &quot;short&quot; in the title is a relic of the pre-[[WP:Lua|Lua]] implementation and has no meaning for the current version. This template is a simple wrapper around {{ml|string|find|section=#find}}, which may be used directly for more options.<br /> {{clear}}<br /> <br /> == Examples ==<br /> Use {{pf|ifexpr}} to concisely determine if this outputs zero, which lets you check if one string contains another. For example, Does &quot;A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum (film)&quot; contain &quot;on the&quot;?<br /> {{markup|<br /> &lt;nowiki&gt;{{#ifexpr: {{strfind short|<br /> A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum (film)|on the}}<br /> | It does. | It doesn&#039;t. }}&lt;/nowiki&gt;|{{#ifexpr: {{strfind short|<br /> A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum (film)|on the}}<br /> | It does. | It doesn&#039;t. }}}}&lt;!-- Template:Mra --&gt;<br /> <br /> Sample output:<br /> {{Aligned table |class=nowrap<br /> |col1style=text-align:left; padding-right:2.0em; |col2style=text-align:center;| row1header = yes<br /> | Example | Output<br /> | &lt;code&gt;{{((}}strfind short {{!}}abcdef {{!}}bcd{{))}}&lt;/code&gt; | {{strfind short|abcdef|bcd}}<br /> | &lt;code&gt;{{((}}strfind short {{!}}123456789. {{!}}45{{))}}&lt;/code&gt; | {{strfind short|123456789.|45}}<br /> | &lt;code&gt;{{((}}strfind short {{!}}x+2.437-6 {{!}}2.43{{))}}&lt;/code&gt; | {{strfind short|x+2.437-6|2.43}}<br /> | &lt;code&gt;{{((}}strfind short {{!}}:***abcd** {{!}}*ab{{))}}&lt;/code&gt; | {{strfind short|:***abcd**|*ab}}<br /> | &lt;code&gt;{{((}}strfind short {{!}}Fast Forward (film) {{!}}( {{))}}&lt;/code&gt; | {{strfind short|Fast Forward (film)|(}}<br /> | &lt;code&gt;{{((}}strfind short {{!}}Fast Forward Longer (film) {{!}}( {{))}}&lt;/code&gt; | {{strfind short|Fast Forward Longer (film)|(}}<br /> | &lt;code&gt;{{((}}strfind short {{!}}A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum (film) {{!}}( {{))}}&lt;/code&gt; | {{strfind short|A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum (film)|(&lt;!--?: |1 --&gt;}}<br /> | &lt;code&gt;{{((}}strfind short {{!}}abcdef {{!}}x{{))}}&lt;/code&gt; | {{strfind short|abcdef|x}}<br /> | &lt;code&gt;{{((}}strfind short {{!}}abcdef {{!}}xyz{{))}}&lt;/code&gt; | {{strfind short|abcdef|xyz}}<br /> }}<br /> <br /> == See also ==<br /> {{String-handling templates |anlys/tech}}<br /> <br /> &lt;includeonly&gt;{{Sandbox other|<br /> | &lt;!-- Categories below this line, please: --&gt;<br /> [[Category:String manipulation templates]]<br /> }}&lt;/includeonly&gt;</div>
