Re: [R] remove substring from each string vector component

Hi! It's just this easy: x=gsub("\t","",x) For more complex things, it's worth learning some regular expressions syntax. Miguel On Tue, Mar 16, 2010 at 2:50 PM, arnaud chozo wrote: > 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 occurrenc

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