In csdaw/stringrb: A Base R Version of 'stringr'

stringrb

An imperfect replication of stringr in base R.

Builds upon hadley/stringb and petermeissner/stringb.

Any help writing or speeding up functions is appreciated! Just submit a PR.

Completed

1. c.R - str_c()
2. detect.R - str_detect(), str_starts(), str_ends()
3. extract.R - str_extract(), str_extract_all()
4. locate.R - str_locate(), str_locate_all(), invert_match()
5. replace.R - str_replace(), str_replace_all(), str_replace_na()
6. sub.R - str_sub()
7. trim.R - str_trim(), str_squish()

In development

1. match.R - str_match(), str_match_all()
2. case.R - str_to_upper(), str_to_lower(), str_to_title(), str_to_sentence()

To do

1. count.R - str_count()
2. dup.R - str_dup()
3. length.R - str_length() maybe?
4. pad.R - str_pad()
5. remove.R - str_remove(), str_remove_all()
6. sort.R - str_order(), str_sort()
7. split.R - str_split(), str_split_fixed(), str_split_n()
8. subset.R - str_subset(), str_which()
9. trunc.R - str_trunc()
10. word.R - word()
11. wrap.R - str_wrap()
12. Add ignore_case argument to fixed()? (see stringr test-detect.R)

Not planning to do

1. conv.R - str_conv()
2. equal.R - str_equal()
3. glue.R - str_glue(), str_glue_data()
4. interp.R - str_interp()
5. unique.R - str_unique() maybe?
6. view.R - str_view()

Differences compared with stringr

• Generally slower, though this varies across each function
• Using str_sub() replacement form with functions is more limited
• str_replace() and str_replace_all() won’t work with formulas
