Remove matched patterns in a string.

Alias for str_replace(string, pattern, "").

str_remove(string, pattern)

str_remove_all(string, pattern)

Arguments

string

string	Input vector. Either a character vector, or something coercible to one.
pattern	Pattern to look for. The default interpretation is a regular expression, as described in stringi::stringi-search-regex. Control options with `regex()`. Match a fixed string (i.e. by comparing only bytes), using `fixed()`. This is fast, but approximate. Generally, for matching human text, you'll want `coll()` which respects character matching rules for the specified locale. Match character, word, line and sentence boundaries with `boundary()`. An empty pattern, "", is equivalent to `boundary("character")`.
