Hi...
I have come upon a problem with a regular expression which causes base-R to
freeze. I have reproduced the phenomenon on several machines running R under
Windows 10, and also under OSX on different Apple MACs.
The minimal example is:-
Oldterm is a vector of characters, e.g. "A", "B", "A", "*", "B"
The regular expression is "\\\\)"
The call which freezes R is
strsplit(Oldterm, "\\\\)" )
Thomas - after he had reproduced the problem - suggested that I submit it to
r-devel.
Best wishes....
