Dear all,
I want to use gsub to change a vector of strings. Basically, I want to replace
any dot by a space, remove the possibly appended ".f" and I want to capitalize
each word. I did that by chaining multiple gsubs together, but I was wondering
(for the sake of learning - maybe the current version is more readable) whether
I could do that with a _single_ gsub call?
Thanks for your help!
txt <- c("example1", "example2.f", "another.example3.f",
"yet.another.example4.f")
gsub("(^|[[:space:]])([[:alpha:]])", "\\1\\U\\2",
gsub("\\.", " ", gsub("\\.f", "", txt)),
perl = TRUE)
Thanks for your input!
Kind Regards,
