如何在R中的单词之间替换特殊字符

本文介绍了如何在R中的单词之间替换特殊字符的处理方法，对大家解决问题具有一定的参考价值，需要的朋友们下面随着小编来一起学习吧！ 问题描述

我有一串字符.

str = c(".wow", "if.", "not.confident", "wonder", "have.difficulty", "shower")

我正在尝试替换."在带有空格的单词之间.所以它看起来像这样

I am trying to replace "." in between words with a whitespace. So it would look like this

".wow", "if.", "not confident", "wonder", "have difficulty", "shower"

首先，我尝试过

gsub("[\\w.\\w]", " ", str) [1] " o " "if" "not confident" " onder" [5] "have difficulty" "sho er "

它给了我想要的空白，但砍掉了所有的 w.然后，我尝试了

It gave me the whitespace I want, but chopped off all the w's. Then, I tried

gsub("\\w\\.\\w", " ", str) [1] ".wow" "if" "no onfident" "wonder" [5] "hav ifficulty" "shower."

它保留了 w，但去掉了."前后的其他字符.

It kept the w's, but brought away other characters right before and after ".".

我也不能用这个

gsub("\\.", " ", str) [1] " wow" "if " "not.confident" "wonder" [5] "have.difficulty" "shower"

因为它会带走."不在话之间.

because it will take away "." not in between words.

推荐答案

尝试

gsub('(\\w)\\.(\\w)', '\\1 \\2', str) #[1] ".wow" "if." "not confident" "wonder" #[5] "have difficulty" "shower"

或

gsub('(?<=[^.])[.](?=[^.])', ' ', str, perl=TRUE)

或者像@rawr 建议的那样

Or as @rawr suggested

gsub('\\b\\.\\b', ' ', str, perl = TRUE)
