Replaces a sequence of strings
gseq(x, pattern = "", replacement = character(), all = TRUE)'x' where 'pattern' is replaced by replacement.
non empty character vectors.
whether to replace all instances of 'pattern' or only the 1st one. Default is TRUE, to replace all instances.
if 'pattern' is found within 'x', 'pattern' will be removed from 'x' and replace by 'replacement'.
It looks like gsub but it is different e.g.:
x=c("ABD","A","B")
pattern=c("A","B")
replacement=c("C")
- gsub(x=paste0(x,collapse=""),pattern=paste0(pattern,collapse=""),replacement=paste0(replacement,collapse=""),fixed=TRUE) will give "CDC",
- gseq(x=x,pattern=pattern,replacement=replacement) will give "ABD","C".
