R gsub Function

gsub() function replaces all matches of a string, if the parameter is a string vector, returns a string vector of the same length and with the same attributes (after possible coercion to character). Elements of string vectors which are not substituted will be returned unchanged (including any declared encoding).

gsub(pattern, replacement, x, ignore.case = FALSE, perl = FALSE,

    fixed = FALSE, useBytes = FALSE)

• pattern: string to be matched
• replacement: string for replacement
• x: string or string vector
• ignore.case: if TRUE, ignore case
...

> x <- "R Tutorial"

> gsub("ut","ot",x)

[1] "R Totorial"

Case insensitive replace:

> gsub("tut","ot",x,ignore.case=T))

[1] "R otorial"

If ignore.case is not set to True, no replace take place:

> gsub("tut","ot",x)

[1] "R Tutorial"

> x <- "line 4322: He is now 25 years old, and weights 130lbs"

> y <- gsub("\\d+","---",x)

> y

[1] "line ---: He is now --- years old, and weights ---lbs"

> x <- "line 4322: He is now 25 years old, and weights 130lbs"

> y <- gsub("[[:lower:]]","-",x)

> y

[1] "---- 4322: H- -- --- 25 ----- ---, --- ------- 130---"

Vector replacement:

> x <- c("R Tutorial","PHP Tutorial", "HTML Tutorial")

> gsub("Tutorial","Examples",x)

[1] "R Examples"    "PHP Examples"  "HTML Examples"
