[R] gsub/strsplit with multiple patterns/splits

[mdvaan]

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!

Math
