Implements template {{Str find word}}.

This module looks for a word being present in a comma-separated list of words. It then returns a True or False value. By default, the True-value returned is the found word itself; the False-value is a blank string.

For example, in the source string 'foo, bar' the word 'bar' appears, but the word 'november' does not.

{{#invoke:Str find word|main |source=foo, bar|word=bar}} (true) → bar

{{#invoke:Str find word|main |source=alpha, beta, gamma|word=november}} (false) →

Multiple word check: The search can be extended to check for multiple words being present.

AND-list of words, all words must be present:

{{#invoke:Str find word|main |source=alpha, beta, gamma |andwords=beta, alpha}} (true) → beta,alpha

{{#invoke:Str find word|main |source=alpha, beta, gamma |andwords=beta, omega}} (false) →

OR-list of words, at least one off the words must be present:

{{#invoke:Str find word|main |source=alpha, beta, gamma|orwords=beta, alpha}} (true) → beta,alpha

{{#invoke:Str find word|main |source=alpha, beta, gamma|orwords=beta, omega}} (false) → beta

Complete words: the complete word is 'foobar' (example needed) Whitespace is trimmed,

The module is aimed at template code usage. (The editor does not have to apply Lua patterns like [%a%d]*). }}

Parameters

All parameters (synonyms)

{{Str find word |source= s= |word= andwords= andw= |orwords= orw= |case= |yes= |no= |explain= }}

{{Str find word |s= |w= |andw= |orw= |case= |yes= |no= |explain=}}

Basic: word is in source-wordlist?

{{Str find word
|source =
|word   =
}}

When the word is found in the source (True), the function returns the word itself (by default), or |yes= value (when entered non-empty).

When not found (False), the function returns a empty string (''), or the |no= value when entered.

|source=alpha, foo, lima	|word=foo	foo	Y
|source=alpha, foo, lima	|word=bar		N	full word bar not in the source
|source=alpha, foo, lima	|word=foobar		N	word foobar not in the source as full word

AND-, OR-wordlist checks

|word= as noted, can be a list of words. All will be checked with the AND-requirement (each word must be present).

|andwords= accepts a list of words that all will be checked with the AND-requirement (each word must be present).

When both |word=, |andwords= are present, they are combined into one single AND-wordlist.

|orwords= accepts a list of words that all will be checked with the OR-requirement (at least one of the words must be present).

|source= |s=	|andwords= |word=	|orwords=	result	note
|s=alpha, foo, lima, delta	|andw=delta, lima		delta,lima	both words present in the source
|s=alpha, foo, lima, delta	|andw=foo, nov			AND-logic: A word in the AND-list is not present (nov), so false
|s=alpha, foo, lima, delta	|andw=delta		delta	|w= and |andw= are combined
|s=alpha, foo, lima, delta		|orw=delta, lima	delta,lima	both OR-words are present in the source
|s=alpha, foo, lima, delta			foo	OR-logic: one of the words is present (|foo=), so true
|s=alpha, foo, lima, delta	|andw=alpha, lima	|orw=foo, nov	alpha,lima,foo
|s=alpha, foo, lima, delta	|andw=bar, april	|orw=nov, dec		none of the OR-words is present, so false

Case

|source= |s=	|word= |w=	|case=	result	note
|s=alpha, foo, lima	|w=foo		→ yes
|s=alpha, foo, lima	|w=foobar		→ no
|s=alpha, foobar, lima	|w=foo		→ no	'foo' is not the complete word
|s=alpha, FOO, lima	|w=foo		→ yes	|case=false: a=A (default)
|s=alpha, FOO, lima	|w=foo		→ no	|case=true: a=/=A

Rephrase True, False result: |yes=, no=

|yes=Yes, a hit |no=Not found
|source=alpha, foo, lima	|word=foo	Yes, a hit	Y
|source=alpha, foo, lima	|word=foobar	No, not found	N

Edge cases

Blank list(s)

Empty input string(s) will conclude negative:

|source, andwords, orwords=.<blank>
|source=<blank>	|word=beta		N
|source=alpha, beta, gamma	|word=<blank>		N

Errors and analysis

• The logic itself does not produce errors. There is always a True of False result.

• Pages with Unknown parameters are listed in Category:Pages using str find word with unknown parameters (0).

There are no logical errors foreseen: any flaw in the input will return a False result (for example, no input strings to check were entered).

• |explain=true: when in Preview, display a report on input, output and the logical steps (debug).
• |explain=testcases: When set in ns Template or User on subpage /testcases, the Preview report is static (shown permanently).
