If it finds a +-- match, then `find` returns the indices of `s` where this occurrence starts +-- and ends; otherwise, it returns nil. A third, optional numerical argument +-- `init` specifies where to start the search; its default value is 1 and +-- can be negative. A value of true as a fourth, optional argument `plain` +-- turns off the pattern matching facilities, so the function does a plain +-- "find substring" operation, with no characters in `pattern` being considered +-- "magic". Note that if `plain` is given, then `init` must be given as well. +-- If the pattern has captures, then in a successful match the captured values +-- are also returned, after the two indices. +function string.find(s, pattern , init , plain) end + +--- +-- Returns a formatted version of its variable number of arguments following +-- the description given in its first argument (which must be a string). The +-- format string follows the same rules as the `printf` family of standard C +-- functions. The only differences are that the options/modifiers `*`, `l`, +-- `L`, `n`, `p`, and `h` are not supported and that there is an extra option, +-- `q`. The `q` option formats a string in a form suitable to be safely read +-- back by the Lua interpreter: the string is written between double quotes, +-- and all double quotes, newlines, embedded zeros, and backslashes in the +-- string are correctly escaped when written. For instance, the call +-- +-- string.format('%q', 'a string with "quotes" and \n new line') +-- +-- will produce the string: +-- +-- "a string with \"quotes\" and \ +-- new line" +-- +-- The options `c`, `d`, `E`, `e`, `f`, `g`, `G`, `i`, `o`, `u`, `X`, and +-- `x` all expect a number as argument, whereas `q` and `s` expect a string. +-- This function does not accept string values containing embedded zeros, +-- except as arguments to the `q` option. +function string.format(formatstring, ...) end + +--- +-- Returns an iterator function that, each time it is called, returns the +-- next captures from `pattern` over string `s`. If `pattern` specifies no +-- captures, then the whole match is produced in each call. +-- As an example, the following loop +-- +-- s = "hello world from Lua" +-- for w in string.gmatch(s, "%a+") do +-- print(w) +-- end +-- +-- will iterate over all the words from string `s`, printing one per line. The +-- next example collects all pairs `key=value` from the given string into +-- a table: +-- +-- t = {} +-- s = "from=world, to=Lua" +-- for k, v in string.gmatch(s, "(%w+)=(%w+)") do +-- t[k] = v +-- end +-- +-- For this function, a '`^`' at the start of a pattern does not work as an +-- anchor, as this would prevent the iteration. +function string.gmatch(s, pattern) end + +--- +-- Returns a copy of `s` in which all (or the first `n`, if given) +-- occurrences of the `pattern` have been replaced by a replacement string +-- specified by `repl`, which can be a string, a table, or a function. `gsub` +-- also returns, as its second value, the total number of matches that occurred. +-- +-- If `repl` is a string, then its value is used for replacement. The character +-- `%` works as an escape character: any sequence in `repl` of the form `%n`, +-- with *n* between 1 and 9, stands for the value of the *n*-th captured +-- substring (see below). The sequence `%0` stands for the whole match. The +-- sequence `%%` stands for a single `%`. +-- +-- If `repl` is a table, then the table is queried for every match, using +-- the first capture as the key; if the pattern specifies no captures, then +-- the whole match is used as the key. +-- +-- If `repl` is a function, then this function is called every time a match +-- occurs, with all captured substrings passed as arguments, in order; if +-- the pattern specifies no captures, then the whole match is passed as a +-- sole argument. +-- +-- If the value returned by the table query or by the function call is a +-- string or a number, then it is used as the replacement string; otherwise, +-- if it is false or nil, then there is no replacement (that is, the original +-- match is kept in the string). +-- +-- Here are some examples: +-- x = string.gsub("hello world", "(%w+)", "%1 %1") +-- --> x="hello hello world world" +-- x = string.gsub("hello world", "%w+", "%0 %0", 1) +-- --> x="hello hello world" +-- x = string.gsub("hello world from Lua", "(%w+)%s*(%w+)", "%2 %1") +-- --> x="world hello Lua from" +-- x = string.gsub("home = $HOME, user = $USER", "%$(%w+)", os.getenv) +-- --> x="home = /home/roberto, user = roberto" +-- x = string.gsub("4+5 = $return 4+5$", "%$(.-)%$", function (s) +-- return loadstring(s)() +-- end) +-- --> x="4+5 = 9" +-- local t = {name="lua", version="5.1"} +-- x = string.gsub("$name-$version.tar.gz", "%$(%w+)", t) +-- --> x="lua-5.1.tar.gz" +function string.gsub(s, pattern, repl , n) end + +--- +-- Receives a string and returns its length.

If it +-- finds one, then `match` returns the captures from the pattern; otherwise +-- it returns nil. If `pattern` specifies no captures, then the whole match +-- is returned.
