Can anybody fix the following, to match a string
disregarding case?
I tried:
with(my.data.frame, regexpr(pattern = '(?i)J\. Test',
text=TARGET_COLUMN), perl=T) != -1)
R yields: invalid regular expression
with(my.data.frame, regexpr(pattern = 'J\. Test',
text=TARGET_COLUMN), perl=T) != -1)
works, but it does not match "J. TEST".
It does match "J. Test" correctly.
I have the feeling I'm not reading the documentation
good enough, but cannot seem to figure this out, sorry.
Thanks in advance,
JeeBee.
