Hi, I would like to substitute a semicolon with two double quotation marks and a comma inbetween. It suppose to look like that:
I have: FBpp0070086;FBpp0099643;FBpp0112915 I would like to have: "FBpp0070086","FBpp0099643","FBpp0112915" I tried with various numbers of backslashes, but noe have worked. for example: gsub(";", "\\\",\"", data$protein_ids) gsub(";", "\\",\"", data$protein_ids) gsub(";", "\",\"", data$protein_ids) gsub(";", "\\',\\'", data$protein_ids) gsub(";", '"',data$protein_ids) What do I miss?
