stringi (version 1.1.2)

stri_flatten: Flatten a String

Description

Joins the elements of a character vector into one string.

Usage

stri_flatten(str, collapse = "")

Arguments

str

a vector of strings to be coerced to character

collapse

a single string denoting the separator

Value

Returns a single string, i.e. a character vector of length 1.

Details

The stri_flatten(str, collapse='XXX') call is equivalent to paste(str, collapse='XXX', sep="").

If you wish to use some more fancy (e.g. differing) separators between flattened strings, call stri_join(str, separators, collapse='').

If str is not empty, then a single string is returned. If collapse has length > 1, then only first string will be used.

stri_flatten(LETTERS, collapse=",")
stri_flatten(c('abc', '123', '\u0105\u0104'))
stri_flatten(stri_dup(letters[1:6],1:3))
