Filesstrings
A set of operations for manipulating strings in R, built on top of the stringr package and inspired by my struggles in trying to sensibly rename microscopy images.

This started out as a package for file and string manipulation. Since
then, the fs file manipulation package and the `strex string
manipulation package emerged, offering functionality previously given by
this package (but slightly better). Those packages have hence almost
pushed ‘filesstrings’ into extinction. However, it still has a small
number of unique, handy file manipulation functions which can be seen in
the
vignette.
One example is a function to remove spaces from all file names in a
directory.
Installation
To install the release version of filesstrings from
CRAN, in R, enter
