R Documentation

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()`.
