Hi,
How do I write a superscript within gsub?

I have the following: gsub("_mgkg",expression(paste("mg kg"^{-1})),names[1])


gsub() doesn't work with expressions, it works with character strings. You're going to need to split your string into parts before and after the "_mgkg" string, and then put it together again as an expression.
