There are some things that I wish were easier with the stringr or
stringi packages. The foremost of these is the extraction of numbers
from strings. stringr lets you figure this out the regex for yourself;
strex takes care of this for you. There are many more useful
functionalities in strex. In particular, there’s a match_arg()
function which is more flexible than the base match.arg().
Contributions to this package are encouraged: it is intended as a
miscellany of string manipulation functions which cannot be found in
stringi or stringr.
You can install the release version of strex from
CRAN with:
install.packages("strex")You can install the development version of strex from
GitHub with:
devtools::install_github("rorynolan/strex")See the package website at https://rorynolan.github.io/strex/.
The preferred method of contribution is by GitHub pull request.
