Hello, trying to locate all the string commands in the base version of R, can't seem to find an area that describes them. I am in need to do some serious parsing of text data to create my dataset. Is there a summary link to all the character operators? string manipulations that would help in parsing text.

A bit of use of the ? operator on paste and strsplt produces (among other things:

See Also
String manipulation with as.character, substr, nchar, strsplit; further, cat which concatenates and writes to a file, and sprintf for C like string construction.

See Also
paste for the reverse, grep and sub for string search and manipulation; further nchar, substr.

You might look at the results of:

help.search("string")

help.search("character")
