I am trying to take a string and reverse the words without replying on strsplit in R. Specifically, I need to only use base R commands. If I have:

string1 <- "This is a string with words"

I would like to be able to get

"words with string a is This"

The biggest challenge for me is that I am not sure if there exist ways to access the elements of a string by indexing (unlike in Python). Any advice would be appreciated, thanks!

`strsplit` is a base R command. – MrFlick May 07 '21 at 05:42

In python words, strings in R is not iterable and characters in a string cannot be accessed by index. – mt1022 May 07 '21 at 05:45
