Hi,

I have what I hope is a simple text processing question in R.

I want to replace every instance of http:\\XXX.com with "WEBSITE"

When I try 
sub('(^http://)(.com$)', 'WEBSITE', <filename>);,
it only substitutes http:// and .com so it looks like 
WEBSITEXXXWEBSITE

How do I get it to match the pattern
"http:// . . . . .com" and substitute the whole phrase?

Thanks in advance!
