I have the following string:
c(\"Yes \", \" No\")
I want to remove the backslashes such that it becomes:
c("Yes", "No)
I tried the following, as suggested here:
gsub("\\","", "c(\"Yes \", \" No\")", fixed = TRUE)
But it does not work, so I must have misunderstood something.
It is a double quote, so either remove the quote and replace with blank
gsub('"',"", "c(\"Yes \", \" No\")", fixed = TRUE)
#[1] "c(Yes , No)"
or replace with a single quote
gsub('"',"'", "c(\"Yes \", \" No\")", fixed = TRUE)
#[1] "c('Yes ', ' No')"
If we print with cat, the character \ doesn't exist
cat("c(\"Yes \", \" No\")")
#c("Yes ", " No")
nchar('\"')
#[1] 1
cat('\"')
#"
