Unlist the Outcome of strsplit()

Description

Per default, strsplit() returns a list, with each entry holding the vector of splits of the initial string(s). This function is a simple wrapper that casts unlist() upon the returned list to produce a concatenated character vector consisting of the single split elements.

Usage

unlistStrsplit(x, split, ...)

Arguments

x	A character vector with elements to be split.
split	A character vector used for splitting, see strsplit().
...	Additional arguments passed to strsplit().

## 2nd example; note that 'split' defaults to 'whitespace'
x2 <- "This is a 2nd test."
unlistStrsplit(c(x, x2))
