替换字符串中的特定字符

Question

I would like to remove specific characters from strings within a vector, similar to the Find and Replace feature in Excel.

Here are the data I start with:

group <- data.frame(c("12357e", "12575e", "197e18", "e18947")

I start with just the first column; I want to produce the second column by removing the e's:

group       group.no.e
12357e      12357
12575e      12575
197e18      19718
e18947      18947

Answer 1

With a regular expression and the function gsub():

group <- c("12357e", "12575e", "197e18", "e18947")
group
[1] "12357e" "12575e" "197e18" "e18947"

gsub("e", "", group)
[1] "12357" "12575" "19718" "18947"

What gsub does here is to replace each occurrence of "e" with an empty string "".
