substr {base} | R Documentation |
substr
takes a character vector as an argument and returns a
vector whose elements contain the substring starting with the
character at position start
up to the character at position
stop
. If start
is larger than the string length then
NA
is returned. If stop
is longer than start
and error is signalled.
substring
is compatible with S. For vector arguments, it
expands the arguments cyclically.
