width

Maximum number of characters per line. Default 80.

Value

A character vector the same length as string, with embedded newlines inserted at word boundaries.

Examples

# Wrap at 30 characters
cat(str_wrap("The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog", width = 30))
#> The quick brown fox jumped
#> over the lazy dog

# Wrap a vector of strings
labels <- c("Short label", "A much longer label that needs wrapping")
str_wrap(labels, width = 20)
#> [1] "Short label"                              "A much longer label\nthat needs wrapping"
