Hello, I have a simple question but I don't know which method is best to use for my problem.
I have the following strings: str1 <- "My_name_is_peter" str2 <- "what_is_your_surname_peter" I would like to apply predefined abbreviations for peter=p and name=n to both strings so that the new strings look like the followings: str1: "My_n_is_p" str2: "what_is_your_surn_p" Which method is the best to use for that particular problem? syrvn -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/Which-function-to-use-grep-replace-substr-etc-tp3909871p3909871.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________ 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.
