This function duplicates the behavior of {{str_find}}, including all of its quirks.
This is provided in order to support existing templates, but is NOT RECOMMENDED for
new code and templates.  New code is recommended to use the "find" function instead.
Returns the first index in "source" that is a match to "target".  Indexing is 1-based,
and the function returns -1 if the "target" string is not present in "source".
Important Note: If the "target" string is empty / missing, this function returns a
value of "1", which is generally unexpected behavior, and must be accounted for
separatetly.

This module is intended to provide access to basic string functions.

Most of the functions provided here can be invoked with named parameters,
unnamed parameters, or a mixture.  If named parameters are used, Mediawiki will
automatically remove any leading or trailing whitespace from the parameter.
Depending on the intended use, it may be advantageous to either preserve or
remove such whitespace.

Global options
	ignore_errors: If set to 'true' or 1, any error condition will result in
		an empty string being returned rather than an error message.
		
	error_category: If an error occurs, specifies the name of a category to
		include with the error message.  The default category is
		[Category:Errors reported by Module String].
		
	no_category: If set to 'true' or 1, no category will be added if an error
		is generated.
		
Unit tests for this module are available at Module:String/tests.

sub

This function returns a substring of the target string at specified indices.

Usage:
{{#invoke:String|sub|target_string|start_index|end_index}}
OR
{{#invoke:String|sub|s=target_string|i=start_index|j=end_index}}

Parameters
	s: The string to return a subset of
	i: The fist index of the substring to return, defaults to 1.
	j: The last index of the string to return, defaults to the last character.
	
The first character of the string is assigned an index of 1.  If either i or j
is a negative value, it is interpreted the same as selecting a character by
counting from the end of the string.  Hence, a value of -1 is the same as
selecting the last character of the string.

If the requested indices are out of range for the given string, an error is
reported.

match

This function returns a substring from the source string that matches a
specified pattern.

Usage:
{{#invoke:String|match|source_string|pattern_string|start_index|match_number|plain_flag|nomatch_output}}
OR
{{#invoke:String|pos|s=source_string|pattern=pattern_string|start=start_index
	|match=match_number|plain=plain_flag|nomatch=nomatch_output}}

Parameters
	s: The string to search
	pattern: The pattern or string to find within the string
	start: The index within the source string to start the search.  The first
		character of the string has index 1.  Defaults to 1.
	match: In some cases it may be possible to make multiple matches on a single
		string.  This specifies which match to return, where the first match is
		match= 1.  If a negative number is specified then a match is returned
		counting from the last match.  Hence match = -1 is the same as requesting
		the last match.  Defaults to 1.
	plain: A flag indicating that the pattern should be understood as plain
		text.  Defaults to false.
	nomatch: If no match is found, output the "nomatch" value rather than an error.

If invoked using named parameters, Mediawiki will automatically remove any leading or
trailing whitespace from each string.  In some circumstances this is desirable, in
other cases one may want to preserve the whitespace.

If the match_number or start_index are out of range for the string being queried, then
this function generates an error.  An error is also generated if no match is found.
If one adds the parameter ignore_errors=true, then the error will be suppressed and
an empty string will be returned on any failure.

pos

This function returns a single character from the target string at position pos.

Usage:
{{#invoke:String|pos|target_string|index_value}}
OR
{{#invoke:String|pos|target=target_string|pos=index_value}}

Parameters
	target: The string to search
	pos: The index for the character to return

If invoked using named parameters, Mediawiki will automatically remove any leading or
trailing whitespace from the target string.  In some circumstances this is desirable, in
other cases one may want to preserve the whitespace.

The first character has an index value of 1.

If one requests a negative value, this function will select a character by counting backwards
from the end of the string.  In other words pos = -1 is the same as asking for the last character.

A requested value of zero, or a value greater than the length of the string returns an error.

find

This function allows one to search for a target string or pattern within another
string.

Usage:
{{#invoke:String|find|source_str|target_string|start_index|plain_flag}}
OR
{{#invoke:String|find|source=source_str|target=target_str|start=start_index|plain=plain_flag}}

Parameters
	source: The string to search
	target: The string or pattern to find within source
	start: The index within the source string to start the search, defaults to 1
	plain: Boolean flag indicating that target should be understood as plain
		text and not as a Lua style regular expression, defaults to true

If invoked using named parameters, Mediawiki will automatically remove any leading or
trailing whitespace from the parameter.  In some circumstances this is desirable, in
other cases one may want to preserve the whitespace.

This function returns the first index >= "start" where "target" can be found
within "source".  Indices are 1-based.  If "target" is not found, then this
function returns 0.  If either "source" or "target" are missing / empty, this
function also returns 0.

This function should be safe for UTF-8 strings.

Parameters
	source: The string to search

	replace: The replacement text
	count: The number of occurences to replace, defaults to all.
	plain: Boolean flag indicating that pattern should be understood as plain
		text and not as a Lua style regular expression, defaults to true
