filesstrings copied to clipboard

A set of operations for manipulating strings in R, built on top of the stringr package and inspired by my struggles in trying to sensibly rename microscopy images.

filesstrings

This started out as a package for file and string manipulation. Since then, the fs file manipulation package and the `strex string manipulation package emerged, offering functionality previously given by this package (but slightly better). Those packages have hence almost pushed ‘filesstrings’ into extinction. However, it still has a small number of unique, handy file manipulation functions which can be seen in the vignette. One example is a function to remove spaces from all file names in a directory.
