Expand String to Fixed Width
Expand strings to a fixed ‘length’ (in the sense of
nchar).
strexp(s, after, width, fill = " ", at)
s |

width |
integer |
fill |
character |
at |

strexp inserts blanks into the elements of a character vector
such that all elements have the same width (i.e.
nchar). Note that it will (currently) not contract a
string, only expand it.

## expand to width 10, but keep two initial blanks
s <- c(" A 1", " B 2")
strexp(s, after = " +[^ ]+ +", width = 10)Please choose more modern alternatives, such as Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox.
