I believe there is a serious bug in the code for sub and gsub. I do as
following:
gsub("\\", "-", "some\\backslashed\\string")
This ought return "some-backslashed-string", but prints warnings instead:
Error in sub("\\", "", "baba\\") : invalid regular expression '\'
In addition: Warning message:
In sub("\\", "", "baba\\") : regcomp error: 'Trailing backslash'
I believe this is a matter of a simple correction in the source code.
Leon
