stri_split_fixed: Split up a String By Fixed Pattern Matches

In stringi: THE string processing package for R

Description

Splits each element of str into substring. pattern indicates delimiters that separate the input into fields. The input data between the matches become the fields themselves.

Usage

stri_split_fixed(str, pattern, n_max = -1L, omit_empty = FALSE,
  opts_collator = list())

Arguments

str	character vector with strings to search in
pattern	character vector with fixed patterns
n_max	integer vector, maximal number of pieces to return
omit_empty	logical vector; determines whether empty strings should be removed from the result
opts_collator	a named list as generated with stri_opts_collator with Collator options, or NA for fast but locale-unaware byte comparison

Details

Vectorized over str, pattern, n_max, and omit_empty.

If n_max is negative (default), then all pieces are extracted.

omit_empty is applied during splitting: if set to TRUE, then empty strings will never appear in the resulting vector.

Pass opts_collator that is equal to NA for a much faster, but locale unaware, (exact) bitwise string comparisons. For natural language text, however, this may not be what you really want.

Value

Returns a list of character vectors.
