stringi-search: String Searching

In stringi: THE string processing package for R

Description

This man page explains how to perform string search-based operations in stringi.

Details

There are three independent string searching “engines” in stringi.

• stri_*_regex – ICU's regular expressions, see stringi-search-regex,

• stri_*_fixed – ICU's StringSearch, locale-sensitive “fixed” patterns search , see stringi-search-fixed,

• stri_*_charclass – character classes search: more exactly, location of either Unicode General Categories or Binary Properties, see stringi-search-charclass,

Each “engine” is able to perform many search-based operations:

• stri_detect_* - detects if a pattern occurs in a string, see e.g. stri_detect,

• stri_count_* - counts the number of occurrences of text matching a pattern, see e.g. stri_count,

• stri_locate_* - locates all, first, or last occurrences of a pattern, see e.g. stri_locate,

• stri_extract_* - extracts all, first, or last occurrences of a pattern, see e.g. stri_extract and, in case of regexes, stri_match,

• stri_replace_* - replaces all, first, or last occurrences of a pattern, see e.g. stri_replace,

• stri_split_* - splits a string into chunks indicated by occurrences of a pattern, see e.g. stri_split.
