* Package name : r-cran-stringi Version : 0.5-5 Upstream Author : Marek Gagolewski <gagol...@rexamine.com> * URL : http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/stringi/ * License : BSD Programming Lang: R Description : GNU R character string processing facilities Allows for fast, correct, consistent, portable, as well as convenient character string/text processing in every locale and any native encoding. Owing to the use of the ICU library, the package provides R users with platform-independent functions known to Java, Perl, Python, PHP, and Ruby programmers. Among available features there are: pattern searching (e.g. via regular expressions), random string generation, string collation, transliteration, concatenation, date-time formatting and parsing, etc. Remark: This is a precondition to upgrade r-cran-stringr which was packaged by the Debian Med team. We are maintaining the package at svn://anonscm.debian.org/debian-med/trunk/packages/R/r-cran-stringi/
