Extract Occurrences of a Pattern
These functions extract all substrings matching a given pattern.
stri_extract_all_*
extracts all the matches.
stri_extract_first_*
and stri_extract_last_*
yield the first or the last matches, respectively.
stri_extract_all(str, ..., regex, fixed, coll, charclass) stri_extract_first(str, ..., regex, fixed, coll, charclass) stri_extract_last(str, ..., regex, fixed, coll, charclass) stri_extract( str, ..., regex, fixed, coll, charclass, mode = c("first", "all", "last") ) stri_extract_all_charclass( str, pattern, merge = TRUE, simplify = FALSE, omit_no_match = FALSE ) stri_extract_first_charclass(str, pattern) stri_extract_last_charclass(str, pattern) stri_extract_all_coll( str, pattern, simplify = FALSE, omit_no_match = FALSE, ..., opts_collator = NULL ) stri_extract_first_coll(str, pattern, ..., opts_collator = NULL) stri_extract_last_coll(str, pattern, ..., opts_collator = NULL) stri_extract_all_regex( str, pattern, simplify = FALSE, omit_no_match = FALSE, ..., opts_regex = NULL ) stri_extract_first_regex(str, pattern, ..., opts_regex = NULL) stri_extract_last_regex(str, pattern, ..., opts_regex = NULL) stri_extract_all_fixed( str, pattern, simplify = FALSE, omit_no_match = FALSE, ..., opts_fixed = NULL ) stri_extract_first_fixed(str, pattern, ..., opts_fixed = NULL) stri_extract_last_fixed(str, pattern, ..., opts_fixed = NULL)

Vectorized over str
and pattern
(with recycling
of the elements in the shorter vector if necessary). This allows to,
for instance, search for one pattern in each given string,
search for each pattern in one given string,
and search for the i-th pattern within the i-th string.
Check out stri_match
for the extraction of matches
to individual regex capture groups.
stri_extract
, stri_extract_all
, stri_extract_first
,
and stri_extract_last
are convenience functions.
They merely call stri_extract_*_*
, depending on the arguments used.
For stri_extract_all*
, if simplify=FALSE
(the default), then
a list of character vectors is returned. Each list element
represents the results of a different search scenario.
If a pattern is not found and omit_no_match=FALSE
,
then a character vector of length 1
with single NA
value will be generated.
Otherwise, i.e., if simplify
is not FALSE
,
then stri_list2matrix
with byrow=TRUE
argument
is called on the resulting object.
In such a case, the function yields a character matrix with an appropriate
number of rows (according to the length of str
, pattern
, etc.).
Note that stri_list2matrix
's fill
argument is set
either to an empty string or NA
, depending on
whether simplify
is TRUE
or NA
, respectively.
stri_extract_first*
and stri_extract_last*
return a character vector. A NA
element indicates a no-match.
Note that stri_extract_last_regex
searches from start to end,
but skips overlapping matches, see the example below.
