Re: [R] Diff'ing 2 strings
Thanks
Sorry my mention of "fairly complex strings" was indeed a bit vague, indeed. My
code is building strings that contain \n characters so something that could be
thought about as multiline strings.
For comparing these strings, I was hoping to use something like the linux diff
command which is smart enough to recognize these line chunks you mentioned and
not just to a simple line-by-line comparison.
I saw a few thread mentioning ?adist. I will look into that.

I do not know what you mean in your string context, as diff in Linux finds
lines in files that differ. A reproducible example -- posting guide! -- would
be most useful here.
However, maybe something of the following strategy might be useful:
1. Break up your strings into lists of string "chunks" relevant for your
context via strspit() . Using "" (empty character) as the "sep" string would
break your strings into individual characters; "\n" would break it into "lines"
separated by the return
character; etc.
2. Compare your lists using e.g. lapply() and probably ?match and friends like
?setdiff
You should also probably check out the stringr package to see if it contains
what you need. Also, if this is gene sequence related, posting on the
Bioconductor list rather than here is likely to be more fruitful.

Re: [R] Diff'ing 2 strings
It's the "split" string not the "sep" string, as you and probably everyone
else already realizes.
And, of course, it could be a regular expression, not literally a character
string.
