Re: [R] Replace sub string

[Ajay Askoolum]

Thanks.

1. For consistency: I am using / everywhere else in my script.

2. For ease of use: I am passing the string to a client application (using 
rcom) where it is easeir to handle / than \\.





See ?gsub
But why would you do that? Both / and \\ are valid in a path, aren't they?

Given:


filename<-paste(tempdir(),"\\","myfile.txt",sep="");
sub("","/",filename);

[1] "C:/DOCUME~1\\AJAYAS~1\\LOCALS~1\\Temp\\Rtmp2f270T\\myfile.txt"


Note: Only the first occurence of \\ is replaced. What is the syntax for 
replacing every occurence?

Thanks.
