No error is returned if attempting to read past end of string or |

strmatch = require("Module:String")._match |

sresult = strmatch( s, pattern, start, match, plain, nomatch ) |
|||
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. |
