trying to switch out addresses that have double directions, such as the
following example:
a = "S S Main St & Interstate 95"
a = gsub(pattern="S S ", replacement="S ", a)
the problem is that I don't want to affect instances where this might be
a correct address such as the following:
"3421 BIGS St"
what I want to say is switch out only if this is either of the following
situations
[beginning of char]S S"
" S S "
"S S[end of char]
Is there anyway of making gsub or a similar function make the replacements
I want? Thanks in advance for your help.
