Hi Arnaud,
how about this:
x=c("1\t\t", "2", "3\t\t\t")
gsub("\t","",x)
hth.

Hi all,
I have a string vector like that: x=c("1\t\t", "2", "3\t\t\t")
I need to remove all the occurrences of "\t", in order to obtain: x = "1"
"2" "3"
I'm trying to use the function substring2, and it works for each component,
for example:
substring2(x[1], "\t") =""
gives x = "1" "2" " 3\t\t\t"
I'd like to apply this function to each component and I tried the following:
myfun = function(x, i) {
substring2(x[i], "\t") = ""
}
lapply(x, myfun)
which gives x="" "" ""
I know that I'm wrong somewhere using lapply, but I can't fix it.
Thanks in advance,
Arnaud Chozo
