str_split_extract

Split up a string into pieces and extract the results using a specific index position. Mathematically, you can interpret it as follows:
Given a character string, <code>S</code>, extract the element at a given position, <code>k</code>, from the result of splitting <code>S</code> by a given pattern, <code>m</code>.

The goal of 'forstringr' is to enable complex string
manipulation in R especially to those more familiar with LEFT(),
RIGHT(), and MID() functions in Microsoft Excel. The package combines
the power of 'stringr' with other manipulation packages such as
'dplyr' and 'tidyr'.
