In ahoho/stringformattr: Dynamic String Formatting

stringformattr

Dynamic String Formatting

This is a simple set of functions that attempt to emulate python-like string formatting. For example, in python, one can do the following:

'the quick brown fox jump' + 'ed over the lazy dog'
# > 'the quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog'

'SELECT {column} FROM {table}'.format(column = 'STUDENT_ID', table = 'STUDENTS')
# > 'SELECT STUDENT_ID FROM STUDENTS'

With this package, the same operations are available in R:

'the quick brown fox jump' %p% 'ed over the lazy dog'

'SELECT {column} FROM {table}' %f% c(column = 'STUDENT_ID', table = 'STUDENTS')

Available on CRAN here.
