I have
"this is an example (NA)"
and would like to have "this is an example"
gsub("(NA)", "", "this is an example (NA)")
does not work.
I have tried gsub
gsub("(NA)", "", "this is an example (NA)")
[1] "this is an example ()"
You can try:
"this is an example (NA)" -> x
gsub('\\(NA)', '', x)
Another possible solution, based on stringr
:
library(stringr)
string <- "this is an example (NA)"
str_remove_all(string, "\\s*\\(NA\\)\\s*")
#> [1] "this is an example"
You should enable fixed = TRUE
> gsub("(NA)", "", "this is an example (NA)", fixed = TRUE)
[1] "this is an example "
string <- "this is an example (NA)"
gsub(' \\(NA\\)', '', string)
[1] "this is an example"
