[R] GSUB and Data.frame format lost

[Omar André Gonzáles Díaz]

Hi all,

please, i'm trying to understand how using "Gsub" for some search and
replace of text, makes my data frame lost it's format.

This is my code:

<code>

DataGoogle1 <- read.csv(file = "DataGoogle2.csv", header = T,
stringsAsFactors = F)
head(DataGoogle1)

</code>

Result 1:

Campaña                    Visitas     Compras
1 facebook-Ads1         524         2
2 faceBOOK-Ads1       487         24
3 fcebook-ads12          258         4
4        Email1                8             7
5         mail1                 224         2
6     referral1                147         7


Then i apply the GSUB function like this:

<code> DataGoogle2 <- as.data.frame(gsub("facebook-Ads1", "FBAds",
DataGoogle1$Campaña)) </code>

And the result is:

DataGoogle2
   gsub..facebook.Ads1....FBAds...DataGoogle1.Campaña.
1                                                FBAds
2                                        faceBOOK-Ads1
3                                        fcebook-ads12
4                                               Email1
5                                                mail1
6                                            referral1

...

The Search and Replace works, but my data.frame does not. Even if i use:
"as.data.frame" before of the "gsub" function. Please, tell me what can i
do... Cheers!
