Hi, I have a vector like this:
DF <- c("Aetna, Inc.", "Alexander's Inc.", "Allegheny Energy, Inc") For each element in the vector I would like to remove the "incorporated" info, so that my vector looks like this: DF <- c("Aetna", "Alexander's", "Allegheny Energy") That means that I have to strip: strip <- c(", Inc.", " Inc.", ", Inc") How do I pass multiple patterns/splits to gsub/strsplit? Thanks!
