I would like to remove specific characters from strings within a vector, similar to the Find and Replace feature in Excel.
Here are the data I start with:
group <- data.frame(c("12357e", "12575e", "197e18", "e18947")
I start with just the first column; I want to produce the second column by removing the e
's:
group group.no.e
12357e 12357
12575e 12575
197e18 19718
e18947 18947
group <- c("12357e", "12575e", "197e18", "e18947")
group
[1] "12357e" "12575e" "197e18" "e18947"
gsub("e", "", group)
[1] "12357" "12575" "19718" "18947"
input = "a:b:c:d" output ='' for c in input: if c==':': output +='/' else: output+=c print(output)
Use the stringi package:
require(stringi)
group<-data.frame(c("12357e", "12575e", "197e18", "e18947"))
stri_replace_all(group[,1], "", fixed="e")
[1] "12357" "12575" "19718" "18947"
.replace()
instead:line = line.replace(';', ':')
line = line[:10].replace(';', ':') + line[10:]
