stri_count: Count the Number of Pattern Matches

Description

These functions count the number of occurrences of a pattern in a string.

Usage

stri_count(str, ..., regex, fixed, coll, charclass)
stri_count_charclass(str, pattern)
stri_count_coll(str, pattern, ..., opts_collator = NULL)
stri_count_fixed(str, pattern, ..., opts_fixed = NULL)
stri_count_regex(str, pattern, ..., opts_regex = NULL)

Arguments

str

character vector with strings to search in

...

supplementary arguments passed to the underlying functions, including additional settings for opts_collator, opts_regex, opts_fixed, and so on

pattern, regex, fixed, coll, charclass

character vector defining search patterns; for more details refer to stringi-search

opts_collator, opts_fixed, opts_regex

a named list used to tune up a search engine's settings; see stri_opts_collator, stri_opts_fixed, and stri_opts_regex, respectively; NULL for default settings;

Value

All the functions return an integer vector.

Details

Vectorized over str and pattern.

If pattern is empty, then the result is NA and a warning is generated.

stri_count is a convenience function. It calls either stri_count_regex, stri_count_fixed, stri_count_coll, or stri_count_charclass, depending on the argument used; relying on one of those underlying functions will be faster.
