rstring

<code>rstring()</code> makes a string that is statically extremely likely to be unique (using default options).

An assortment of helper functions for managing data (e.g.,
rotating values in matrices by a user-defined angle, switching from
row- to column-indexing), dates (e.g., intuiting year from messy date
strings), handling missing values (e.g., removing elements/rows across
multiple vectors or matrices if any have an NA), text (e.g.,
flushing reports to the console in real-time); and combining data frames
with different schema (copying, filling, or concatenating columns or
applying functions before combining).

rstring function

<dl><dt>n</dt>
<dd>Numeric integer: How many strings to make (default is 1).</dd>
<dt>x</dt>
<dd>Numeric integer: Number of letters and digits to use to make the string. Default is 12, leading to a probability of two matching random strings of &lt;3.7E-18 if <code>filesafe = TRUE</code> and &lt;3.1E-22 if <code>FALSE</code>.</dd>
<dt>filesafe</dt>
<dd>Logical: If <code>TRUE</code> (default), make file-safe names (leading character is a letter).</dd></dl>
