gseq: String Sequence Replacement

In IFC: Tools for Imaging Flow Cytometry

String Sequence Replacement

Description

Replaces a sequence of strings

Usage

gseq(x, pattern = "", replacement = character(), all = TRUE)

Arguments

x, pattern, replacement	non empty character vectors.
all	whether to replace all instances of 'pattern' or only the 1st one. Default is TRUE, to replace all instances.

Details

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".

Value

'x' where 'pattern' is replaced by replacement.
