Ok, I''m hoping this won''t be a forehead slapper, but take a look at this code: physician.name.sub(/''/, "\\''") I''m trying to substitute a single quote with a backslash and a single quote. This seems pretty simple right? Well, someone kick me and tell me why it''s not :) Here''s what I''m getting if the

Hi, I am trying to consume a web service that returns a JSON string, however, when I run > fromJSON(s) Error: '\/' is an unrecognized escape in character string starting "http:\/" because the string s contains a single backslash, which is the JSON escape character, but R expects 2 backslashes, I think. Is there anyway to preprocess the JSON string returned from the web

Hi R-devels, I noticed that you are working quite actively on the new Rd-parser and have made it the default renderer in R-2.10.0dev. So I would like to come back on an issue I have already raised on this list last November ("Two minor escaping issues using \preformatted{....} in Rd format") My setting has slightly changed as \preformatted, AFAICS is not supported within \describe

I want to replace \\ with \ in: str <- "C:\\DOKUME~1\\u0327336\\LOKALE~1\\Temp\\RtmpQ5NJ8X\\TIRIS_PICS\\1_Img.jpg" and tried: gsub("\\\\", "\\", str) but this removes the \\ without replacing them by \ Any help much appreciated, Kay ----- ------------------------ Kay Cichini Postgraduate student Institute of Botany Univ. of Innsbruck ------------------------

I am in the middle of migrating a number of applications from one server to another and I am running into an issue with backslashes on a smbfs mount. Basically, the backslash can be used in a file path on the old server and not on the new. This turns out to be important because of the samba share is used to store data for a large number of FTP clients, who use an old automated script which chokes

Hello! I've just started trying gnome-terminal (instead of xterm) because of its "tabbing" facility. However, I note that with it backslashes appear something like a W with a horizontal line through it. Any known way to get a backslash to appear as a backslash? To see what I mean, use gnome-terminal with echo '\' in bash, ksh, etc. Regards, Chip Campbell

Hi, I'm trying to build a vector of latex commands. However, I need the command strings to begin with a backslash "\". I have: test <- c('foo','bar') and I need to rebuild the array, encapsulating the text items with latex stuff, like this: paste("\parbox[b]{3cm}{", test, "}", fill=TRUE) Actually, cat() prints the string fine if one uses

Hello, Can anyone help on gsub() in R? I have a string like something below, and wanted to delete all the strings with leading backslash, including "\xa0On", "\023, "\xab", and many others. How should I write a regular expression pattern in gsub()? I don't care how many characters following backslash. txt <- "Is This Thing\xa0On? http://bit.ly/jAbKem

Hello, I am not very familiar with regular expressions and escaping. I need to replace the %-signs in a character vector with elements as "income 0%-33%# to be replaced by "income 0\%-33\%" (for later use in LaTeX). Using gsub("%","\\%","income 0%-33%") does not give the desired result. However, gsub("%","\\\\%","income

Greeting R Community, I am a windows user so this problem may be specific to windows. I often want to source files from within R such as: C:\Users\Rinker\Desktop\Research & Law\Data\School Data 09-10. To source this file I need to go through the path and replace all the backslashes (\) with forward slashes (/). I usually do this in MS Word using the replace option, however, I'd like

Something about the way R processes backslashes is defeating me. Perhaps this is because I have only just started using R for text processing. I would like to change occurrences of the ampersand & into ampersand preceded by a backslash. > temp <- "R & D" > sub("&", "\&", temp) [1] "R & D" > sub("&",

I've just started using AMP and found that I have a problem with escaped characters in config files. In particular, I have a custom config item that needs a semicolon in...

Dear list, After searching many old posts, I can't find the solution to a simple problem. can someone tell me how to create a character string with multiple backslashes, as in: file_dir <- c("C:\files\data\") I need to create this string and then paste it to many files names for batch processing in another software program. R won't accept the backslash and removes
