paste_and_cat: New Paste and Cat Rules
In roperators: Additional Operators to Help you Write Cleaner R Code

Description Usage Arguments Author(s) Examples

The available functions are:

paste_()is the same as paste0 but uses an underscore to separate

cat0() is analogous to paste0 but for cat

catN() is the same as cat0 but automatically inserts a new line after the cat

paste_series() paste a series of things with a conjunction

paste_oxford() shortcut for paste_series as oxford comma

paste_(..., collapse = NULL)

cat0(..., file = "", fill = FALSE, labels = NULL, append = FALSE)

catN(..., file = "", fill = FALSE, labels = NULL, append = FALSE)

paste_series(
  ...,
  sep = c(",", ";"),
  conjunction = c("and", "or", "&"),
  use_oxford_comma = TRUE
)

paste_oxford(...)

`...`	one or more R objects, to be converted to character vectors.
`collapse`	an optional character string to separate the results. Not `NA_character_`.
`file`	A connection, or a character string naming the file to print to. If `""` (the default), `cat` prints to the standard output connection, the console unless redirected by `sink`. If it is `"\|cmd"`, the output is piped to the command given by ‘cmd’, by opening a pipe connection.
`fill`	a logical or (positive) numeric controlling how the output is broken into successive lines. If `FALSE` (default), only newlines created explicitly by "\n" are printed. Otherwise, the output is broken into lines with print width equal to the option `width` if `fill` is `TRUE`, or the value of `fill` if this is numeric. Linefeeds are only inserted between elements, strings wider than `fill` are not wrapped. Non-positive `fill` values are ignored, with a warning.
`labels`	character vector of labels for the lines printed. Ignored if `fill` is `FALSE`.
`append`	logical. Only used if the argument `file` is the name of file (and not a connection or `"\|cmd"`). If `TRUE` output will be appended to `file`; otherwise, it will overwrite the contents of `file`.
`sep`	a character string to separate the terms. Not `NA_character_`.
`conjunction`	the conjunction to use to collapse the final elements in the series (such as and, or, &, or something else)
`use_oxford_comma`	whether to use the oxford comma in the series (standard in American English) or to not use the oxford comma
