sinterp: Dot substitution string interpolation.

In WinVector/wrapr: Wrap R Tools for Debugging and Parametric Programming

Dot substitution string interpolation.

Description

String interpolation using bquote-stype .() notation. Pure R, no C/C++ code called.

Usage

sinterp(
  str,
  ...,
  envir = parent.frame(),
  enclos = parent.frame(),
  match_pattern = "\\.\\((([^()]+)|(\\([^()]*\\)))+\\)",
  removal_patterns = c("^\\.\\(", "\\)$")
)

Arguments

str	charater string(s) to be substituted into
...	force later arguments to bind by name
envir	environemnt to look for values
enclos	enclosing evaluation environment
match_pattern	regexp to find substitution targets.
removal_patterns	regexps to remove markers from substitution targets.

Examples

x <- 7
sinterp("x is .(x), x+1 is .(x+1)\n.(x) is odd is .(x%%2 == 1)")

# Because matching is done by a regular expression we
# can not use arbitrary depths of nested parenthesis inside
# the interpolation region.  The default regexp allows
# one level of nesting (and one can use {} in place
# of parens in many places).
sinterp("sin(x*(x+1)) is .(sin(x*{x+1}))")

# We can also change the delimiters,
# in this case to !! through the first whitespace.
sinterp(c("x is !!x , x+1 is !!x+1 \n!!x  is odd is !!x%%2==1"),
        match_pattern = '!![^[:space:]]+[[:space:]]?',
        removal_patterns = c("^!!", "[[:space:]]?$"))
