e1 %s$% e2
e1 %stri$% e2
Arguments#
|
format strings, see |
|
a list of atomic vectors to be passed to |

"value='%d'" %s$% 3
## [1] "value='3'"
"value='%d'" %s$% 1:3
## [1] "value='1'" "value='2'" "value='3'"
"%s='%d'" %s$% list("value", 3)
## [1] "value='3'"
"%s='%d'" %s$% list("value", 1:3)
## [1] "value='1'" "value='2'" "value='3'"
"%s='%d'" %s$% list(c("a", "b", "c"), 1)
## [1] "a='1'" "b='1'" "c='1'"
"%s='%d'" %s$% list(c("a", "b", "c"), 1:3)
