Hello R-helpers,
I am trying to search for string that includes the caret symbol, using the
following code:
grepl("latitude^2",temp)
And R doesn't like that. It gives me:
> temp<-c("latitude^2","latitude and latitude^2","longitude^2","longitude
and longitude^2")
> temp
[1] "latitude^2" "latitude and latitude^2" "longitude^2"
"longitude and longitude^2"
> grepl("latitude^2",temp)
[1] FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE
I think this must a regex problem, but I can't find out to specify the
caret using regex.
I would appreciate any help you could provide.
Many thanks,
Mark Na
