Map
American Civil War Prison Camps - Union Confederate
  • Camp Chase — Columbus, Ohio Established in May 1861 and closed in 1865. The camp's original capacity was for 4,000 men, but at times more than 7,000 prisoners were accommodated. The capacity was increased to 7,000, but towards the end of the war up to 10,000 men were crammed into the facility.
  • Elmira Prison — Elmira,New York Originally established as Camp Rathbun, a training base, the site was converted to a prisoner of war camp in 1864 with a capacity for approximately 12,000 prisoners. Before its closure in 1865, 2,963 prisoners died there from various causes.
  • Camp Lawton — Millen, Georgia To relieve some of the conditions at Andersonville, a larger prison was constructed in the summer of 1864 near the Lawton Depot in the town of Millen, Georgia. Around 10,000 prisoners were moved to Camp Lawton between October to late November 1864. It is currently a state park, Magnolia Springs.

  • TEST

Lua code snippets

For Loop a -z

local c = ""
for x = string.byte('a'), string.byte('z') do
    c = c .. string.char(x)                           -- 'a' to 'z
end

Length of a String

test = "This is a string"
length = #test
or
length = test:len()

Combine tables together

   newtable = {}
   t1 = {"Alabama", "New York"}
   t2 = {"New Hampshire", "Vermont"}
   for k,v in ipairs(t1) do table.insert(newtable, v) end
   for k,v in ipairs(t2) do table.insert(newtable, v) end
   -- newtable now has both t1 and t2 --- can do this for multiple tables

Trim white space left

string = string:match'^%s*(.*)'

Trim white space right

string = string:match'^(.*%S)'

Trim both left and right

string = string:match'^%s*(.*%S)'

Is a table

if (type(var) == "table") then do table work else do non-table work end

Pad to left of String

test = "Some String" char="." len=40
test =  test .. string.rep(char, len - #test)

Pad to right of String

test = "Some String" char ="." len = 40
test = string.rep(char, len - #test) .. test

Chop to length

test = "This is a test"
test = test:sub(1,5)
  • can pad left or right to insure size is fixed
  • may wish to trim spaces off right and left as well

Reverse a String

test = "This is a test"
test = test:reverse()

Str left

test = "This is a test"
test = test:sub(1,count)
  • Have to make decision as in case of count being greater than the length of a string or empty string or nil

Str right

test = "This is a test"
test = test:sub(#test - count + 1, test:len())
--or
test = test:reverse()
test = test:sub(1,count)
test = test:reverse()
  • Have to make decision as in case of count being greater than the length of a string or empty string or nil

Str lower

test = "Yes"
test = test:lower()

Str upper

test = "Yes"
test = test:upper()

ESCAPE LUA SPECIAL CHARACTERS

ESC = mw.ustring.gsub(SOMESTRING, '[%-%.%+%[%]%(%)%$%^%%%?%*]','%%%1')

Protected Module Edit (Opinion?)

{{Roman|MMXVIII}} → 2018

Given your past editing of {{Roman}} I wonder if you could point me in the right direction to get some competent eyes on this and also what you might think of {{Roman}} converting both ways depending on input only.

Not sure of process for getting code (as opposed to encyclopedia content) reviewed; didn't even realize there was a [diff] web function until after posting a static diff onto talk page.
