Dynamic String Formatting

This is a simple set of functions that attempt to emulate python-like string formatting. For example, in python, one can do the following:

'the quick brown fox jump' + 'ed over the lazy dog'
# > 'the quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog'

'SELECT {column} FROM {table}'.format(column = 'STUDENT_ID', table = 'STUDENTS')
# > 'SELECT STUDENT_ID FROM STUDENTS'

With this package, the same operations are available in R:

'the quick brown fox jump' %p% 'ed over the lazy dog'

'SELECT {column} FROM {table}' %f% c(column = 'STUDENT_ID', table = 'STUDENTS')

Available on CRAN here.

These binaries (installable software) and packages are in development.
They may not be fully stable and should be used with caution. We make no claims about them.
