stri_locate_words: Locate Words in a Text

Description

This function locates all words in each string.

Usage

stri_locate_words(str, locale = NULL)

Arguments

str

character vector or an object coercible to

locale

NULL or "" for text boundary analysis following the conventions of the default locale, or a single string with locale identifier, see stringi-locale.

Value

• A list of integer matrices is returned. The first column gives the start positions of the words, and the second column gives the end positions. The indices are code point-based, thus they may be passed e.g. to the stri_sub function.

  Moreover, you may get two NAs in one row for no match or NA arguments.

Details

Vectorized over str.

Just like in stri_extract_words, ICU's word BreakIterator iterator is used to locate word boundaries, and all non-word characters (UBRK_WORD_NONE rule status) are ignored.
