New to R ... which is a function to most effectively search the number of occurrences of a character in a string?
b <- c("jkhrikujhj345hi5hiklfjsdkljfksdio324j';;'lfd;g'lkfit34'5;435l;43'5k") I want the number of semi-colons ";" in b? Thanks. ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
