Example 1:
# R program to illustrate # the use of gsub() function # Create a string x < - "Geeksforgeeks"
# Calling gsub() function gsub( "eek" , "ood" , x)
# Calling gsub() with case-sensitivity gsub( "gee" , "Boo" , x, ignore.case = FALSE)
# Calling gsub() with case-insensitivity gsub( "gee" , "Boo" , x, ignore.case = TRUE)
|
Output:
[1] "Goodsforgoods" [1] "GeeksforBooks" [1] "BooksforBooks"
Example 2:
# R program to illustrate # the use of gsub() function # Create a string x < - c( "R Example" , "Java example" , "Go-Lang Example" )
# Calling gsub() function gsub( "Example" , "Tutorial" , x)
# Calling gsub() with case-insensitivity gsub( "Example" , "Tutorial" , x, ignore.case = TRUE)
|
Output:
[1] "R Tutorial" "Java example" "Go-Lang Tutorial" [1] "R Tutorial" "Java Tutorial" "Go-Lang Tutorial"
