stri_stats_general: General Statistics for a Character Vector¶

This function gives general statistics for a character vector, e.g., obtained by loading a text file with the readLines or stri_read_lines function, where each text line’ is represented by a separate string.

Usage¶

stri_stats_general(str)

Arguments¶

Below by ‘white space’ we mean the Unicode binary property WHITE_SPACE, see stringi-search-charclass.

Lines - number of lines (number of non-missing strings in the vector);
LinesNEmpty - number of lines with at least one non-WHITE_SPACE character;
