[R] A simple string alienation problem

[Richard O'Keefe]

I'm very confused by the phrase "string alienation".
You mention two problems:
(1) remove " from a string
      sub('"', '', vector.of.strings)
      will do that.  See
      ?grep
      for details.
(2) split a string at occurrences of /
      strsplit(vector.of.strings, "/")
      will do that.  It gives you a list of vectors of strings.  See
      ?strsplit
      for details.
