Re: [R] Using regular expressions to detect clusters of consonants in a string

expressions to detect clusters of consonants in a string Try this: library(gsubfn) s <- "mystring" strapply(s, "[bcdfghjklmnpqrstvwxyz]+", nchar)[[1]] which returns a vector of consonant string lengths. Now apply your algorithm to that. See http://gsubfn.googlecode.com fo

Re: [R] Using regular expressions to detect clusters of consonants in a string

Mark, "Abstraction" also has a valid two consonant cluster ("ct"). Some logic could be added to reject words that have valid twos if they also have longer strings of consonants. This may work as a starting off point, using strsplit: twocons = function(word){ chars = strsplit(word, "[aeiou

[R] Using regular expressions to detect clusters of consonants in a string

Hi, I want to parse a string extracting the number of occurrences where two consonants clump together. Consider for example the word "hallo". Here I want the algorithm to return 1. For "chess" if want it to return 2. For the word "screw" the result should be negative as it is a clump of three cons
