Examples

fruit <- c("apple", "pear", "banana")
str_dup(fruit, 2)
#> [1] "appleapple"   "pearpear"     "bananabanana"
str_dup(fruit, 2, sep = " ")
#> [1] "apple apple"   "pear pear"     "banana banana"
str_dup(fruit, 1:3)
#> [1] "apple"              "pearpear"           "bananabananabanana"
str_c("ba", str_dup("na", 0:5))
#> [1] "ba"           "bana"         "banana"       "bananana"     "banananana"  
#> [6] "bananananana"
