-- Module for different search and replace operations on strings.
local p = {}

-- Takes one string parameter, and returns the string with all characters with special meaning for Lua patterns escaped with a preceding `%`.

    -- Replaces each occurence of any of ().%+-*?[^$ with a `%` and then the character.
    local r = string.gsub(text, "[%(%)%.%%%+%-%*%?%[%^%$]", "%%%1")
    return r
end

-- Returns the first parameter, with all occurences of the second parameter replaced with the third parameter.
-- All special characters are ignored: {{#invoke:StringReplace|replace_all|test.a%1$foo|%1|bar}} results in `test.abarfoo`.
