Dear R Users,
I am trying to replace a substring in a string with something else.
For example:
if we have "abc.degg.hijk"
I would like to replace all the "." with a SPACE to become
"abc degg hijk"
I have tried the replace.substring.wild function in the Hmisc package but get
this error:
> replace.substring.wild("abc.degg.hijk","*.*"," ")
Error in replace.substring.wild("abc.degg.hijk", "*.*", " ") :
does not handle > 1 * in old
>
Can't really figure out from the function description or the error message what
I am doing wrong.
Any assistance would be appreciated, thanks in advance.
Regards,
Tolga
