Pattern replacement in a list of character vectors

lgsub(
  pattern,
  replacement,
  x,
  ignore.case = FALSE,
  perl = FALSE,
  fixed = FALSE,
  useBytes = FALSE,
  ...
)

Arguments

pattern, replacement, ignore.case, perl, fixed, useBytes	all arguments are passed to `base::gsub()` after `x` is converted to a character vector.
x	`list` object that contains character vectors.
...	additional arguments are ignored.

This function is a simple wrapper around base::gsub() except it operates on a list.

Note that this function assumes the input data contains vectors and not embedded list objects.


x <- list(a=c("A", "B"), b=c("C,D"));
lgsub(",", "!:!", x)
#> $a
#> [1] "A" "B"
#> 
#> $b
#> [1] "C!:!D"
