Hello,
Works with me:
d1 <- data.frame(V1 = 1:3,
V2 = c("some text = 9", "some tèxt = 9", "some other text = 9"))
regexpr("some text = 9", d1$V2)
[1] 1 -1 -1
attr(,"match.length")
[1] 13 -1 -1
regexpr("some tèxt = 9", d1$V2)
[1] -1 1 -1
attr(,"match.length")
[1] -1 13 -1
d1$V1[regexpr("some text = 9",d1$V2) > 0] <- 9
d1$V1[regexpr("some tèxt = 9",d1$V2) > 0] <- 9
d1
V1 V2
1 9 some text = 9
2 9 some tèxt = 9
3 3 some other text = 9
What do you mean by "it did not work"? What was the contents of 'd1'?

Hello,
I have build a syntax to find out if a given substring is included in a larger
string that works like this:
d1$V1[regexpr("some text = 9",d1$V2)>0] <- 9
and this works all right till "some text" contains standard ASCII set. However,
it does not work when accents are included as the following:
d1$V1[regexpr("some tèxt = 9",d1$V2)>0] <- 9
I have tried to substitute "è" with several wildcards but it did not work, can
anyone suggest how to have the syntax parse the string ignoring the accent?
Thank you in advance,
Luca
