So I have Transactions as a dataframe and Transactions$Symbol is a column in 
the frame

I simply want to run sub over all elements in that column where the new value 
replaces the old value

this doesn't seem to work

Transactions$Symbol = lapply(Transactions$Symbol, function(x) sub('[ 
-]*','INST',x))
> 
> Transactions$Symbol
NULL
