Stringify vector

Description

Turn a vector (e.g. c(1, 2, 3)) into a string (e.g. "'1', '2', '3'"). This function is particularly useful when creating error messages, describing problematic values.

Usage

stringify(
  x,
  before = NULL,
  after = NULL,
  collapse = ", ",
  quote = "'",
  n_max = 10,
  further = "..."
)

Arguments

x	An object, which should be turned into a string. Usually an atomic object (a vector).
before	A string placed before each vector entry.
after	A string placed after each vector entry.
collapse	A string, used for separating each vector entry.
quote	A string, holding the symbol which should be used for quoting every entry of x. Default is ⁠'⁠ which gives the result 'entry1'.
n_max	A positive integer or Inf, defining the maximum number of displayed vector elements. All further elements are displayed with the text defined in further.
further	A string indicating further (after n_max displayed elements) vector elements.

Value

A string showing the entries of the vector.
