Template:Array/doc

This template will allow manipulation or retrieve properties of an array list using a delimiter. It handles five functions: count, get, pos, math and sort.

Usage

{{Array|<Function>|<Array items>|<Delimiter>|<Property>|Parameters (optional)}}

5th parameter only valid with pos function when limiting multiple outputs to a single position.

Functions

Count

Will count the total number of items in the array using the designated separator. Leading or trailing separators are stripped.

• This page is being depreciated → 5
• This page is being depreciated → 5

Get

Will get the Nth item in the array, numeric value only. Can use negative value to work backwards. Last or -1 will get end item. Invalid value returns error.

• This page is being depreciated → test
• This page is being depreciated → list
• This page is being depreciated → nearly
• This page is being depreciated → final
• This page is being depreciated → void:invalid

Pos

Will retrieve the position in array of the search item. If duplicates are found, will output all positions delimited by comma. Output can be limited by specifying a 5th parameter.

{{Array|Pos|<Array items>|<Delimiter>|<Search Term>|<Nth occurrence> (optional)}}

Math

Will do calculations on the array items if all numeric. Options are sum (sum of all item numbers), min and max.

• This page is being depreciated → 12
• This page is being depreciated → 3
• This page is being depreciated → void:isalpha

Sort

Sort items in the array, default ascending/chronological, numeric first. Use parameter "a" to sort alpha first and/or "r" to reverse order

• This page is being depreciated → 2,6,7,8,9,12
• This page is being depreciated → 12,9,8,7,6,2
• This page is being depreciated → 2,6,7,8,9,12,a,d
• This page is being depreciated → a,d,2,6,7,8,9,12
• This page is being depreciated → 12,9,8,7,6,3,d,a (alpha starts first from the right if reversing the sort order)
• This page is being depreciated → everything is mixed up
