str_split_fixed {stringstatic}

Split up a string into pieces

Description

Dependency-free drop-in alternative for stringr::str_split_fixed().

Usage

str_split_fixed(string, pattern, n)

Arguments

string

Input vector. Either a character vector, or something coercible to one.

pattern

Pattern to look for.

The default interpretation is a regular expression, as described in base::regex. Control options with regex().

Match a fixed string (i.e. by comparing only bytes), using fixed(). This is fast, but approximate.

n

Maximum number of pieces to return. This determines the number of columns in the output; if an input is too short, the result will be padded with "".

Value

A character matrix with n columns and the same number of rows as the length of string/pattern.
