Str_extract_all in stringr does not capture all punctuation
I have a value mystring
defined below:
mystring <- "! \" # $ % & ' ( ) * + , - . / : ; < = > ? @ [ \ ] ^ _ ` { | } ~"
When I tried to extract all punctuation with a function string_extract_all
, some punctuation marks like $
and +
could not be extracted. I tried to escape them with a backslash, but get an error instead.
str_extract_all(mystring, pattern = "[[:punct:]]")
# [[1]]
# [1] "!" "\"" "#" "%" "&" "'" "(" ")" "*" "," "-" "." "/" ":" ";" # "?" "@" "[" "]" "_" "{" "}"
It works in base grepl
though:
grep(pattern = "[[:punct:]]", unlist(strsplit(mystring," ")), value = TRUE)
# [1] "!" "\"" "#" "$" "%" "&" "'" "(" ")" "*" "+" "," "-" "." "/" ":" ";" "<" "=" ">" "?" "@"
# [23] "[" "]" "^" "_" "`" "{" "|" "}" "~"
Is this an error in stringr
, or that something is wrong with my code?
