Lets say I have the following data frame.

df
I was trying to place brackets , [ ] , around each string.
I'll be exporting it with write.table and quotes=FALSE, so it will
eventually look like:
[David]
[James]
[Sara]
....
Can anyone help with this task?
?paste
I'd like to avoid regular expressions, but I haven't been able to
use the
paste function
to get the desired result.
Hmm. Why not?
df$word <- paste("[", df$word, "]", sep="") # seems to work fine.
