Split an ANSI colored string
This is the color-aware counterpart of base::strsplit().
It works almost exactly like the original, but keeps the colors in the
substrings.
col_strsplit(x, split, ...)
x |
Character vector, potentially ANSI styled, or a vector to coarced to character. |
split |
Character vector of length 1 (or object which can be coerced to
such) containing regular expression(s) (unless |
... |
Extra arguments are passed to |
A list of the same length as x, the i-th element of
which contains the vector of splits of x[i]. ANSI styles are
retained.

str <- red("I am red---") %+%
green("and I am green-") %+%
underline("I underlined")
cat(str, "\n")
# split at dashes, keep color
cat(col_strsplit(str, "[-]+")[[1]], sep = "\n")
strsplit(strip_style(str), "[-]+")
# split to characters, keep color
cat(col_strsplit(str, "")[[1]], "\n", sep = " ")
strsplit(strip_style(str), "")Please choose more modern alternatives, such as Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox.
