Alternative function to paste

Question

Is there a function that can be an alternative to paste ? I would like to know if something like this exists in R:

> buildString ( \"Hi {1}, Have a very nice         


        

Answer 1

The whisker package does this very well, and deserves wider appreciation:

require(whisker)
whisker.render ( "Hi {{name}}, Have a very nice {{noun}} ! " , list(name="Tom", noun="day") )
