Regular expressions: bug or misunderstanding?
...but not always:
> gsub( "((^|[^E])(EE)*)q", "\\1Eq", "Eq")
[1] "Eq"
> gsub( "((^|[^E])(EE)*)q", "\\1Eq", "EEq")
[1] "EEEq"
> gsub( "((^|[^E])(EE)*)q", "\\1Eq", "qaq")
[1] "EqaEq"
> gsub( "((^|[^E])(EE)*)q", "\\1Eq", "qq")
[1] "qEq"
Notice that in the final example, the first quote doesn't get escaped.
Why not????
