How to escape a backslash in R? [duplicate]
This question already has an answer here: How to escape backslashes in R string 3 answers I'm working in R and having troubles escaping the backslash. I am using the library stringr . install.packages("stringr", repos='http://cran.us.r-project.org') library("stringr") I would like to do str = str_replace_all(str, "\", "") So I tried str = str_replace_all(str, "\\", "") but it won't work. What should I do? I found a solution that works str = gsub("([\\])","", str) Use Hmisc::escapeRegex and Hmisc::escapeBS which automatically escapes backslashes and other regex special characters. 来源: https:/
