replace text at certain positions in a file
Hello,
I am working with R version 2.10.1 under windows.
In a text file, I need to replace all characters at certain column positions with blanks.
For example, say the file contains two lines and looks like this:
ab34cd78e
fg3 hi78j
I'd like to replace everything at positions 3-4 and 7-8 with blanks, so the output should be:
ab cd e
fg hi j
[I'm not sure if this is really an R question(?), solutions outside of R - maybe via shell() or so - are welcome!]
Thanks,
Heinrich.
