This template will allow manipulation or retrieve properties of an array list with a designated separator. It handles three functions: count, get and pos.
Usage {{Array|<Function>|<Array items>|<Separator>|<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 will be stripped out.
{{Array |count|This is my array| }} → 4{{Array |count|An,array,separated,by,commas|,}} → 5{{Array |count|,An,array,with,trailing,commas,|,}} → 5Get Will get the Nth item in the array.
{{Array |get|My,wiki,test,array|,|3}} → test{{Array |get|A.list.of.dot.separated.items|.|2}} → list{{Array |get|A sentence of typical words| |5}} → wordsPos Will retrieve the Nth position of the search item. If duplicates are found, will output all results with the designated separator. Output can be limited by specifying a 5th parameter. Can be used as true or false if output exists to determine if a match exists.
Do not use the ^ character as this is used as a placeholder.
{{Array |pos|A sentence of typical words| |sentence}} → 2{{Array |pos|A.wiki.test.string.in.a.test.array|.|unmatched}} →{{Array |pos|A.wiki.test.string.in.a.test.array|.|test}} → 3.7{{Array |pos|Position,of,the,second,test,in,a,test,array|,|test|2}} → 8{{Array |pos|2,4,6,6,7,11,12|,|7}} → 5{{Array |pos|2,4,6,6,7,11,12|,|6|2}} → 4
