This module directly imports all functions from the {{luaref|mw.ustring}} library. Documentation for each function can be found there.

The module takes an indefinite number of arguments. All arguments are coerced as number type if possible. If you wish for something to remain a string, you can simply escape it by insert <code>\</code> at the beginning of the string.

You can also wrap results in tags. All non-number indexed arguments will be passed to {{luaref|frame:extensionTag}}

== Usage ==

<code><nowiki>{{</nowiki>#invoke:{{BASEPAGENAME}}|''function_name''|arg1|arg2|...}}</code> is equivalent to {{luaref|mw.ustring|mw.ustring.function_name|args=arg1, arg2, ...}}

===Example using mw.ustring.sub===
<code><nowiki>{{#invoke:Ustring|sub|abcde|2|4}}</nowiki></code>

produces:

{{#invoke:Ustring|sub|abcde|2|4}}

===Example using mw.ustring.gsub===
<code><nowiki>{{#invoke:Ustring|gsub|1234|23|}}</nowiki></code>

produces:

{{#invoke:Ustring|gsub|1234|23|}}

===Example using mw.ustring.char===
<code><nowiki>&amp;#{{#invoke:ustring|char|49|48|59}}</nowiki></code>

produces:

&#{{#invoke:ustring|char|49|48|59}}

This is nice for escaping character sequences in other modules; for example:
<syntaxhighlight lang="lua">
p = {}
function p.main(frame)
local str = '1-2-2{{#invoke:ustring|char|45}}1-3'
return frame:preprocess(str:gsub('-', '/'))-- == '1/2/2-1/3'
end
return p
</syntaxhighlight>

===Example using mw.ustring.match===
<code><nowiki>{{#invoke:Ustring|match|abcde|(c%w)}}</nowiki></code>

produces:

{{#invoke:Ustring|match|abcde|(c%w)}}

Note: Only the first match is returned. Additional returns are omitted because mw.ustring.gsub's second return value is generally undesirable.

===Example using tag arguments===
<pre>{{#invoke:Ustring|match
|{{Module:Ustring}}|%s%sif.+%
%s%send
|tag=syntaxhighlight|lang=lua}}</pre>
produces:
{{#invoke:Ustring|match
|{{Module:Ustring}}|%s%sif.+%
%s%send
|tag=syntaxhighlight|lang=lua}}

Note that:
{{#tag:pre|<nowiki><syntaxhighlight lang="lua">{{#invoke:Ustring|match
|{{Module:Ustring}}|%s%sif.+%
%s%send}}</syntaxhighlight></nowiki>}}
produces:
<syntaxhighlight lang="lua">{{#invoke:Ustring|match
|{{Module:Ustring}}|%s%sif.+%
%s%send}}</syntaxhighlight>
