When I call rownames on my df I get something like this:
"Saint.Petersburg..Russia" "Istanbul..Turkey"
This what I coded
gsub("..", " ", rownames(df))
This is what was returned
[1] " " " " "
What I expected was
"Saint.Petersburg Russia" "Istanbul Turkey"
Does anyone know what is going wrong here?
We can use fixed = TRUE as . can match any character in the default regex mode if it is not escaped (\\.) or placed inside square brackets ([.]) or the faster option is fixed = TRUE
gsub("..", " ", rownames(df), fixed = TRUE)
#[1] "Saint.Petersburg Russia" "Istanbul Turkey"
