Usage

x %p% y

Arguments

x

A value for the left side of the paste infix operator.

y

A value for the right side of the paste infix operator.

Value

The concatenated or pasted value. No spaces will be inserted in between the values to paste. If a vector of values is supplied, a vector of pasted values will be returned.

Examples

# Paste together two strings
str <- "Hello" %p% "World"
str
# [1] "HelloWorld"

# Paste together number and string
str <- 100 %p% " Kittens"
str
# [1] "100 Kittens"

# Paste together two vectors
v1 <- c("A", "B", "C")
v2 <- c(1, 2, 3)
str <- v1 %p% v2
str
# [1] "A1" "B2" "C3"
