The problem is this: I have a vector of two character strings.
> text<-c("This is a first example sentence.", "And this is a second example
sentence.")
If I now look for word boundaries with regexpr, this is what I get:
> regexpr("\\b", text, perl=TRUE)
[1] 1 1
attr(,"match.length")
[1] 0 0
So far, so good. But with gregexpr I get:
> gregexpr("\\b", text, perl=TRUE)
Error: cannot allocate vector of size 524288 Kb
In addition: Warning messages:
1: Reached total allocation of 1015Mb: see help(memory.size)
2: Reached total allocation of 1015Mb: see help(memory.size)
Why don't I get the locations and extensions of all word boundaries?
I am using R 2.2.1 on a machine running Windows XP:
