strrep: Repeat the Elements of a Character Vector

Description

Repeat the character strings in a character vector a given number of times (i.e., concatenate the respective numbers of copies of the strings).

Usage

strrep(x, times)

Arguments

x

a character vector, or an object which can be coerced to a character vector using as.character.

times

an integer vector giving the (non-negative) numbers of times to repeat the respective elements of x.

Value

A character vector with the elements of the given character vector repeated the given numbers of times.

Details

The elements of x and times will be recycled as necessary (if one has no elements, and empty character vector is returned). Missing elements in x or times result in missing elements of the return value.

Examples

strrep("ABC", 2)
strrep(c("A", "B", "C"), 1 : 3)
## Create vectors with the given numbers of spaces:
strrep(" ", 1 : 5)
