--- Comment #8 from Phillip Patriakeas <dragonlordofxant...@gmail.com> 2010-12-29 00:44:54 UTC --- I'm really not sure - I was never heavily involved in templates that would have benefited from string parsing myself (though most templates doing advanced parsing would benefit *somehow* from native string parsing), and my involvement with the community has been greatly reduced for months, meaning I'm now rather out-of-touch with the current template landscape on en.WP (and I never participated to any appreciable extent on other projects in the first place, so I have no idea what their needs are). That being said, I'd imagine that, at the least, functions for determining a string's length and finding the position of, replacing, or returning a substring (or splitting a string into substrings) would be needed. Depending on the implementation, a replacement for pad[left] and padright may also be a good idea. I'd appreciate it if someone more in-touch with the current needs of (at least) the en.WP community (and, preferably, a stronger background in programming/computer science) could weigh in, too. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
