THE String Processing Package for R
Online reference manual is available at https://stringi.gagolewski.com/.
Paper on stringi (draft version — any comments are welcome) is available at https://stringi.gagolewski.com/_static/vignette/stringi.pdf.
stringi (pronounced “stringy”, IPA [strinɡi]) is THE R package for string/text/natural language processing. It is very fast, consistent, convenient, and — thanks to the ICU – International Components for Unicode library — portable across all locales and platforms.
Available features include:
- string concatenation, padding, wrapping,
- substring extraction,
- pattern searching (e.g., with Java-like regular expressions),
- collation and sorting,
- random string generation,
- case mapping,
- string transliteration,
- Unicode normalisation,
- date-time formatting and parsing,
and many more.
Package Maintainer: Marek Gagolewski
Authors and Contributors: Marek Gagolewski, with contributions from Bartłomiej Tartanus and many others.
The package's API was inspired by Hadley Wickham's stringr package (and since 2015 stringr powered by stringi).
