Greetings R-ians:
I know what doesnt work but I dont know why, nor how to remedy things.
I have a character string containing "." which I want to replace with " "
gsub(".", " ", file.label) replaces the every character with a blank.
However gsub(".xls", " ", file.label) replaces ".xls" with a blank as
expected.
It appears that "." is some kind of wild-card. How do I tell gsub that a
period is just a period?
Thanks.
Charles Annis, P.E.
