I am using gsub to remove numbers for each element of a list. Code is given
below.
testList <- list("this contains a number 1000","this does not contain")
removeNumbers <- function(X)
{
gsub("\\d","",X)
}
outputList <- lapply(testList,removeNumbers)
However, when I try to find the number of words in outputList as follows
outLength <- lapply(strsplit(outputList," "),length)
it throws out the following error:
Error in strsplit(outputList, " ") : non-character argument
Can someone help me with this?
Thank you.
Ravi
