strs_lstrip removes leading characters (spaces by default) from each
element of a character vector. It is similar to Python's str.lstrip()
method.
Usage
strs_lstrip(string, chars = NULL)
Arguments
- string
A character vector where each element is a string to be
left-stripped.
- chars
An optional string of characters to be removed from the
beginning of each element. If NULL, whitespace is removed.
Value
A character vector of the same length as string, with specified
characters removed from the beginning of each element.
Examples
strs_lstrip(" hello world")
#> [1] "hello world"
strs_lstrip("xxxyhello world", chars = "xy")
#> [1] "hello world"
