  rm_left = 0,
  rm_right = -1
)

Arguments

x	A character string.
left	A character string. Regular expression to serve as look ahead.
right	A character string. Regular expression to serve as a look behind.
rm_left	An integer. Number of bites after left-side match to remove from result. Defaults to -1.
rm_right	An integer. Number of bites after right-side match to remove from result. Defaults to 0.

Value

A character vector.
