[R] How to remove backslash

[Christofer Bogaso]

Hi,

I have below string where I am trying to remove Backslash from. I tried
with gsub() function, however failed to remove that:

> str = '<span id=\"ctl00'
> gsub("\\", "", str)
Error in gsub("\\", "", str) :
  invalid regular expression '\', reason 'Trailing backslash'


Any pointer to the right approach?

Thanks for your time
