str_slice2: Slice a Vector at Consecutive Indices

In Kmisc: Kevin Miscellaneous

Description

This function 'slices' the strings of a character vector x at consecutive indices n, thereby generating consecutive substrings of length n and returning the result as a list. This function will safely 'slice' a UTF-8 encoded vector.

Usage

str_slice2(x, n = 1, USE.NAMES = TRUE)

Arguments

x	a character vector.
n	integer (or numeric coercible to integer); index at which to slice.
USE.NAMES	logical. if names attribute already exists on x, pass this through to the result?

Value

A list of length equal to the length of x, with each element made up of the substrings generated from x[i].

Note

Safe for use with UTF-8 characters, but slower than str_slice.

See Also

str_slice, for slicing an ASCII vector.
