Strex is a collection of string manipulation functions not provided by the stringi or stringr packages. The foremost of these is the extraction of numbers from strings. There are many other handy functionalities in strex.

This package provides an API for efficient .hic file data extraction with programmatic matrix access. It doesn't store the pointer data for all the matrices, only the one queried, and currently it only supports matrices.

This package provides functions to access Twitter's filter, sample, and user streams, and to parse the output into data frames.

Stringr is a consistent, simple and easy to use set of wrappers around the fantastic stringi package. All function and argument names (and positions) are consistent, all functions deal with "NA"'s and zero length vectors in the same way, and the output from one function is easy to feed into the input of another.

This package 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.

Extracts plain text from Rich Text Format (RTF) file.

The STRINGdb package provides an R interface to the STRING protein-protein interactions database. STRING is a database of known and predicted protein-protein interactions. The interactions include direct (physical) and indirect (functional) associations. Each interaction is associated with a combined confidence score that integrates the various evidences.

Large data files can be difficult to work with in R, where data generally resides in memory. This package encourages a style of programming where data is streamed from disk into R via a `producer and through a series of `consumers that, typically reduce the original data to a manageable size. The package provides useful Producer and Consumer stream components for operations such as data input, sampling, indexing, and transformation; see package?Streamer for details.

This package provides string parsing functionalities for generating plotnames, filenames and paths.

This package provides an extendable, performant and multithreaded alt-string implementation backed by C++ vectors and strings.

This package implements an approximate string matching version of R's native match function. It can calculate various string distances based on edits (Damerau-Levenshtein, Hamming, Levenshtein, optimal string alignment), qgrams (q- gram, cosine, jaccard distance) or heuristic metrics (Jaro, Jaro-Winkler). An implementation of soundex is provided as well. Distances can be computed between character vectors while taking proper care of encoding or between integer vectors representing generic sequences.

This package performs complex string operations compactly and efficiently. It supports string interpolation jointly with over 50 string operations. It also enhances regular string functions (like grep() and co).

A streamgraph is a type of stacked area chart. It represents the evolution of a numeric variable for several groups. Areas are usually displayed around a central axis, and edges are rounded to give a flowing shape. This package provides an htmlwidget for building streamgraph visualizations.

This package provides tools for testing, monitoring and dating structural changes in (linear) regression models. It features tests/methods from the generalized fluctuation test framework as well as from the F test (Chow test) framework. This includes methods to fit, plot and test fluctuation processes (e.g., CUSUM, MOSUM, recursive/moving estimates) and F statistics, respectively. It is possible to monitor incoming data online using fluctuation processes. Finally, the breakpoints in regression models with structural changes can be estimated together with confidence intervals. Emphasis is always given to methods for visualizing the data.

This package aims to quantify and remove putative double strand DNA from a strand-specific RNA sample. There are also options and methods to plot the positive/negative proportions of all sliding windows, which allow users to have an idea of how much the sample was contaminated and the appropriate threshold to be used for filtering.

The Structstrings package implements the widely used dot bracket annotation for storing base pairing information in structured RNA. Structstrings uses the infrastructure provided by the Biostrings package and derives the DotBracketString and related classes from the BString class. From these, base pair tables can be produced for in depth analysis. In addition, the loop indices of the base pairs can be retrieved as well. For better efficiency, information conversion is implemented in C, inspired to a large extend by the ViennaRNA package.

This package contains useful helper functions for dealing with structural variants in VCF format. The packages contains functions for parsing VCFs from a number of popular callers as well as functions for dealing with breakpoints involving two separate genomic loci encoded as GRanges objects.
