Little Helpers: Character index counter
I find myself counting characters on my screen more often than I feel comfortable doing it. Isn’t it weird to count things by hand when you have the power of R right in front of you? Well, I decided to but a little helper function into my .Rprofile file (i.e. the function is defined with every startup of R and available throughout the session) that cares care of that (and is less error-prone at the same time).
