Fast and Portable Character String Processing Facilities R package stringi version 1.8.7 CRAN Task View: NaturalLanguageProcessing (https://CRAN.R-project.org/view=NaturalLanguageProcessing) A collection of character string/text/natural language processing tools for pattern searching (e.g., with 'Java'-like regular expressions or the 'Unicode' collation algorithm), random string generation, case mapping, string transliteration, concatenation, sorting, padding, wrapping, Unicode normalisation, date-time formatting and parsing, and many more. They are fast, consistent, convenient, and - thanks to 'ICU' (International Components for Unicode) - portable across all locales and platforms. Documentation about 'stringi' is provided via its website at <https://stringi.gagolewski.com/> and the paper by Gagolewski (2022, <doi:10.18637/jss.v103.i02>).
