rndstr: Generate random strings

Description

Generate a vector of random alphanumeric strings each of an arbitrary length.

Usage

rndstr(n, len, characterFirst)
## S3 method for class 'numeric,numeric,logical':
rndstr(n, len, characterFirst)
## S3 method for class 'numeric,numeric,missing':
rndstr(n, len)
## S3 method for class 'numeric,missing,logical':
rndstr(n, characterFirst)
## S3 method for class 'missing,numeric,logical':
rndstr(len, characterFirst)
## S3 method for class 'numeric,missing,missing':
rndstr(n)
## S3 method for class 'missing,numeric,missing':
rndstr(len)
## S3 method for class 'missing,missing,logical':
rndstr(characterFirst)
## S3 method for class 'missing,missing,missing':
rndstr(n, len, characterFirst)

Arguments

n

Number of strings to generate (default 1). Will attempt to coerce to integer value.

len

Length of strings to generate (default 8). Will attempt to coerce to integer value.

characterFirst

Logical, if TRUE, then a letter will be the first character of the string (useful if being used for object names).

Value

• Character vector of random strings.

Examples

set.seed(11)
rndstr()
rndstr(len = 10)
rndstr(characterFirst = FALSE)
rndstr(n = 5, len = 10)
rndstr(n = 5)
rndstr(n = 5, characterFirst = TRUE)
rndstr(len = 10, characterFirst = TRUE)
rndstr(n = 5, len = 10, characterFirst = TRUE)
