Hi, I am having a problem searching for the "|" character in a string.
> grep("|",stringvector) Gives all the strings in a vector but when I try to escape it > grep("\|",stringvector) It comes up with the error Warning messages: 1: '\|' is an unrecognized escape in a character string 2: unrecognized escape removed from "\|" Anyone know how to solve this?
