Module talk:Sandbox/Matroc/Str swap

Testing String Swap

• Module test to swap 2 pieces data in a string
• Can act as a replacement when the swap with argument is not contained in a string
  • Swap Old with New: Some New Things are like Old -

     {{#invoke:Sandbox/Matroc/Str swap|swapreplace|Some New Things are like Old|New|Old|1}} 

    • Output: Some Old Things are like New
  • Swap New with Newer: Some New Things are like Old -

     {{#invoke:Sandbox/Matroc/Str swap|swapreplace|Some New Things are like Old|New|Newer|1}} 

    • Output: Some Newer Things are like Old

NOTE NOTE NOTE

1. This module might also be simplified or improved using a different strategy of capture and recover in gsub
   • example: str:gsub("(this)(.*)(that)","%3%2%1") or something like that. Needs to be looked at as there are many possibilities...
