Thank you Bert and Peter. My apology for posting poor code. I cannot
create a reproducible example of my data, but i hope the list indices
as shown below helps you understand my question.. My regex pattern on
my previous post works correctly because i tested it on a few sublists
and it worked, but did not work for the all lists.
I tend to think a set of lapply and one apply function will work, but
not sure how to do that.
i tried, but obviously i don't understand nested apply functions.
> lapply(mylsit, function(x) gsub(pattern,"",x))
> lapply(mylist, function(x) lapply (x, function(y) gsub(mypattern,"",y)))
> lappqaly(mylist, function(x) lapply (x, function(y)
> apply(y,2,gsub(mypattern,"",y))))
