stri_dup(str, times)

e1 \%s*\% e2

e1 \%stri*\% e2
}
\arguments{
\item{str, e1}{a character vector of strings to be duplicated}

\item{times, e2}{an integer vector with the numbers of times to duplicate each string}
}
\value{
Returns a character vector.
}
\description{
Duplicates each \code{str}(\code{e1}) string \code{times}(\code{e2}) times
and concatenates the results.
}
\details{
Vectorized over all arguments.

\code{e1 \%s*\% e2} and \code{e1 \%stri*\% e2} are synonyms
for \code{stri_dup(e1, e2)}
}
\examples{
stri_dup('a', 1:5)
