Template:Str sub long/doc
 |
This is a documentation subpage for Template:Str sub long (see that page for the template itself). It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
Usage
{{Str sub long/doc |text|start|length}} = Substring of text starting at start and containing length characters. Base 0: the first character is numbered 0, and so on, e.g. {{str sub long|20090624130510|8|2}} returns the 2 characters starting at the 9th, i.e. "13"
start + length must be less than 100. The template operates on an extended character set.

Limitations
A string is limited to 500 total characters, but the substring can only span the first 100 characters. The presence of certain characters in the input may cause unexpected results, so {{Str_sub/any{{{2}}}{{{3}}}{{{4}}}{{{5}}}{{{6}}}{{{7}}}{{{8}}}{{{9}}}{{{10}}}{{{11}}}...}} should be used to handle any possible character. Otherwise, there can be problems with some special characters. For example, {{Str sub long{{{5}}}{{{6}}}{{{7}}}{{{8}}}{{{9}}}{{{10}}}{{{11}}}...}} → c%d works as desired, whereas if the output string contains any of :;*# the results are not as desired:
{{Str sub/any{{{5}}}{{{6}}}{{{7}}}{{{8}}}{{{9}}}{{{10}}}{{{11}}}...}} → Template:Str sub/any
{{Str sub long{{{5}}}{{{6}}}{{{7}}}{{{8}}}{{{9}}}{{{10}}}{{{11}}}...}} → c
- d
{{Str sub long{{{5}}}{{{6}}}{{{7}}}{{{8}}}{{{9}}}{{{10}}}{{{11}}}...}} → c
