Utility functions to treat characters

Description

Function %+% paste characters with other characters pairwise. Function %n% is used to repeat a character n time. Function numtostr converts numeric to a string in a nice format.

Usage

x %+% y
x %n% y
numtostr(x,nch,digits=4)

Arguments

x	Character vector or a numeric vector for numtostr functions
y	Character vector
nch	(Optionnal) length of the resulting character vector
digits	Number of digits in the resulting strings

Value

Function %+% is an operator that shortens paste(x, y, sep="") see help(paste) for more options. Function %n% returns the character vector x repeated y times. If both x and y are vector each element of x are applied to each element of y. Function numtostr converts numerical vector to a character vector using a nice format.
