{{str index any|<text>|<n>}}somewhere. - Sample output
- {{ Str index any |0123456789ABCDEF|15}} → E
- {{ Str index any |ÁBĆĎÉf-ABCDEF|4}} → Ď
- {{ Str len |{{ Str index any |a b|1}}}} → 1
- {{ Str len |{{ Str index any |a b|2}}}} → 5
- {{ Str len |{{ Str index any |a b|3}}}} → 1
The last example shows extraction of letter "b" with string length as 1. The prior example extracts a blank but considers the length as 5 for the 5 characters " " even though there is only 1 space, and hence, {{str len| }} → 5. If surrounded by 2 other characters, then the length might be totalled incorrectly as 7 (rather than 3 characters):
- {{ Str len |<{{ Str index any |a b|2}}>}} → 7
- {{ Str len |X{{ Str index any |a b|2}}X}} → 7
- {{ Str len |X{{ Str index |a b|2}}X}} → 7
- X{{ Str index any |a b|2}}X → X X
