The goal of regexcite is to make regular expressions more exciting!
It provides convenience functions to make some common tasks with string manipulation and regular expressions a bit easier.
## Installation
You can install the development version of regexcite from [GitHub](https://github.com/) with:
``` r
# install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("jennybc/regexcite")
```
## Usage
A fairly common task when dealing with strings is the need to split a single string into many parts.
This is what `base::strplit()` and `stringr::str_split()` do.
```{r}
(x <- "alfa,bravo,charlie,delta")
strsplit(x, split = ",")
stringr::str_split(x, pattern = ",")
```
Notice how the return value is a **list** of length one, where the first element holds the character vector of parts.
Often the shape of this output is inconvenient, i.e. we want the un-listed version.
That's exactly what `regexcite::str_split_one()` does.
```{r}
library(regexcite)
str_split_one(x, pattern = ",")
```
Use `str_split_one()` when the input is known to be a single string.
For safety, it will error if its input has length greater than one.
`str_split_one()` is built on `stringr::str_split()`, so you can use its `n` argument and stringr's general interface for describing the `pattern` to be matched.
```{r}
str_split_one(x, pattern = ",", n = 2)
y <- "192.168.0.1"
str_split_one(y, pattern = stringr::fixed("."))
```
