This is the color-aware counterpart of base::strsplit().
It works almost exactly like the original, but keeps the colors in the
substrings.
Arguments
- x
Character vector, potentially ANSI styled, or a vector to coerced to character.
- split
Character vector of length 1 (or object which can be coerced to such) containing regular expression(s) (unless
fixed = TRUE) to use for splitting. If empty matches occur, in particular ifsplithas zero characters,xis split into single characters.- ...
Extra arguments are passed to
base::strsplit().
Value
A list of the same length as x, the i-th element of
which contains the vector of splits of x[i]. ANSI styles are
retained.

Examples

col_red("I am red---"),
col_green("and I am green-"),
style_underline("I underlined")
)
cat(str, "\n")
#> I am red---and I am green-I underlined
# split at dashes, keep color
cat(ansi_strsplit(str, "[-]+")[[1]], sep = "\n")
#> I am red
#> and I am green
#> I underlined
