Template documentation | This template uses Lua: |
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.
Contents
Usage[edit]
{{Str count|source string|pattern|plain_flag}}
If there is no occurrence of the source string in the pattern, this template returns 0.
Parameters[edit]
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.
