[R] Matching a character in a string

[Fabrice DELENTE]

Hello.

Sorry for this very basic question but I didn't find (of didn't understand)
the answer either in the help or in the online guide.

I have a string, let's say "hello". I want to know if there is some
character in it, let's say an 'o'.

I tried

> charmatch("o", strstplit("hello",""))

but it gives NA (why??)

Thinking it may be a type problem, I tried

> charmatch("o",as.character(strsplit("hello","")))

but it gives NA too (why???)

So how can I know if a given string contains a given char?

Thanks!
