Dear R useRs,

Sorry for this foolish question, but I can't find how to escape the *
character when using grep :

You use a backslash to escape the *. Unfortunately, to enter a backslash in an R string, you need to escape it. So the pattern is "\\*".

grep("-", c("/3", "2*3", "4-4"))
[1] 3
grep("/", c("/3", "2*3", "4-4"))
[1] 1
grep("*", c("/3", "2*3", "4-4"))
Erreur dans grep("*", c("/3", "2*3", "4-4")) :
  expression régulière incorrecte '*'
De plus : Warning message:
In grep("*", c("/3", "2*3", "4-4")) :
  erreur rgcomp : 'Expression régulière précédente incorrecte'
grep("\*", c("/3", "2*3", "4-4"))
Erreur dans grep("*", c("/3", "2*3", "4-4")) :
  expression régulière incorrecte '*'
De plus : Warning messages:
1: '\*' est un code escape non reconnu dans une chaîne de caractères
2: code escape non reconnu éliminé de "\*"
3: In grep("*", c("/3", "2*3", "4-4")) :

Best regards,
