split_lines

Split a character vector by line breaks

Description

Call unlist(strsplit(x, '\n')) on the character vector x and make sure it works in a few edge cases: split_lines('') returns '' instead of character(0) (which is the returned value of strsplit('', '\n')); split_lines('a\n') returns c('a', '') instead of c('a') (which is the returned value of strsplit('a\n', '\n').

Usage

split_lines(x)

Arguments

`x`	A character vector.

Value

All elements of the character vector are split by '\n' into lines.

Examples

xfun::split_lines(c("a", "b\nc"))
