strs (version 0.1.0)

strs_center: Center a string in a field of a given width

Description

strs_center centers each element of a character vector in a field of a specified width. It pads the string on both sides with a specified character (defaulting to a space). This is similar to Python's str.center() method.

Usage

strs_center(string, width, fillchar = " ")

Value

A character vector of the same length as string, where each element has been centered in a field of the specified width.

Arguments

string

A character vector where each element is a string to be centered.

width

The total width of the field in which the string is to be centered.

fillchar

A character used for padding. If not specified, defaults to a space. Only the first character of fillchar is used if it is longer than one character.
