str_split: Split up a string into pieces

In stringstatic: Dependency-Free String Operations

Split up a string into pieces

Description

Dependency-free drop-in alternative for stringr::str_split().

Usage

str_split(string, pattern, n = Inf, simplify = FALSE)

Arguments

string	Input vector. Either a character vector, or something coercible to one.
pattern	Pattern to look for. The default interpretation is a regular expression, as described in base::regex. Control options with regex(). Match a fixed string (i.e. by comparing only bytes), using fixed(). This is fast, but approximate.
n	Maximum number of pieces to return. Default (Inf) uses all possible split positions. This determines the maximum length of each element of the output.
simplify	A boolean. FALSE (the default): returns a list of character vectors. TRUE: returns a character matrix.

Value

A list the same length as string/pattern containing character vectors, or if simplify = FALSE, a character matrix with n columns and the same number of rows as the length of string/pattern.
