| stringi-search {stringi} | R Documentation |
This man page instructs how to perform string search-based operations in stringi.
The following independent string searching “engines” are available in stringi.
stri_*_regex – ICU's regular expressions,
see stringi-search-regex,
stri_*_fixed – locale-independent bytewise pattern matching,
see stringi-search-fixed,
stri_*_coll – ICU's StringSearch,
locale-sensitive, Collator-based pattern search,
useful for natural language processing tasks,
see stringi-search-coll,
stri_*_charclass – character classes search,
e.g. Unicode General Categories or Binary Properties,
see stringi-search-charclass,
stri_*_boundaries – text boundary analysis,
see stringi-search-boundaries
Each “engine” is able to perform many search-based operations. These may include:
stri_detect_* - detect if a pattern occurs in a string,
see e.g. stri_detect,
stri_count_* - count the number of pattern occurrences,
see e.g. stri_count,
stri_locate_* - locate all, first, or last occurrences
of a pattern, see e.g. stri_locate,
stri_extract_* - extract all, first, or last occurrences
of a pattern, see e.g. stri_extract
and, in case of regexes, stri_match,
stri_replace_* - replace all, first, or last occurrences
of a pattern, see e.g. stri_replace
and also stri_trim,
stri_split_* - split a string into chunks indicated
by occurrences of a pattern,
see e.g. stri_split,
stri_startswith_* and stri_endswith_* detect
if a string starts or ends with a pattern match, see
e.g. stri_startswith,
stri_subset_* - return a subset of a character vector
with strings that match a given pattern, see e.g. stri_subset.
