Simpler, but would fail if there are more "."s beyond the second (it
changes the last one to a "-"):

Then replace. Fairly straightforward and very possibly much faster.

I want to deal with strings of the form "a.b.c" and to change (using
sub() or whatever is appropriate) the second "." to a "-", i.e. to
change "a.b.c" to "a.b-c". I want to leave the first "." as-is.
I guess I could do a gsub(), changing all "."s to "-"s, and then do
a sub() changing the first
I think I would replace all , with . and subsequently replace all first .
with , using ^\\.
x <- gsub(",", ".", x)
gsub("^\\.", ",", x)
It's not so elegant, but it is easier to understand than backreferences and
complex regex.
Best,
Ulrik

You can either use positive lookahead/lookbehind - but support for that is a
bit flaky. Or write a proper regex, and use
backreferences to keep what you need.
R > x <- "abc 1,1 ,1 1, x,y 2,3 "
R > gsub("(\\d),(\\d)", "\\1.\\2", x, perl = TRUE)
[1] "abc 1.1 ,1 1, x,y 2.3 "

Hi Dennis,
How about:
# define the two values to search for
x<-2
y<-3
# create your search string and replacement string
repstring<-paste(x,y,sep=",")
newstring<-paste(x,y,sep=".")
# this is the string that you want to change
thetastring<-"SIGMA(2,3)"
sub(repstring,newstring,thetastring)

I would appreciate some help with regular expressions.
I have string that looks like:
" ITERATION ,THETA1 ,THETA2
,THETA3 ,THETA4 ,THETA5

Well, I guess I'm not quite there yet. What I gave earlier was a
simplified example, and did not accurately reflect the complexity of the
task.

Mark,
Try this:

[1] """(the rain in spain)"
You need two backslashes to "escape" the square brackets. The regular
expression "\\[.\\]" translates to "a [ followed by 0 or more insta
How about this:

you had "*." when you should have ".*"

I'm having trouble achieving the results I want using a regular expression.
I want to eliminate all characters that fall within square brackets as well
as the brackets themselves, returning an "". I'm not sure if it's R's use of
double slash escapes or something else that is tripping me up. If I on
