...should also be *in-string* substitution out of the box, so sub(), sprintf() and friends does not count. Thanks Henrik PS. The following is on the borderline because it does not do automatic variable look up, but since others may bring it up and/or know of a neater approach, I mention it too: ** copySubstitute() in the 'Biobase' package (with some efforts), e.g. > bbsubst <- function(fmt, ...) { args <- lapply(list(...), FUN=as.character) in <- textConnection(fmt) out <- textConnection("res", open="w") on.exit({ close(in); close(out) }) copySubstitute(...

...ke M and X). I use the Bioconductor package in R. Currently I need to convert a string of the form "ACCTGMX" to "1223400" i.e. A is replaced by 1, C with 2, T with 3, G with 4 and any other character with a 0. I checked with 'replace' and also with a function called 'copySubstitute' found in the Biobase package but this is only for files. The data here is a string ("ACCTGMX" ) and we need to convert it to yet another string ("1223400"). Now I use the strsplit function to split "ACCTGM" into "A" "C" "C" "T&q...

For example, when constructing a db query we have to write, paste("SELECT " value " FROM table where date ='",cdate,"'") we are getting null result from it, because without (forgotten...)
