This is a documentation subpage for Template:Strfind short. It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
This template uses Lua: |
{{strfind short|target|string}}
outputs the position in target where string first appears (e.g. an output of "3" would mean beginning at the third character in target). If string is not found, it outputs zero (0). The word "short" in the title is a relic of the pre-Lua implementation and has no meaning for the current version. This template is a simple wrapper around {{#invoke:string|find}}, which may be used directly for more options.
