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
