Hello,

Can anyone help on gsub() in R?  I have a string like something below, and
wanted to delete all the strings with leading backslash, including "\xa0On",
"\023, "\xab", and many others.   How should I write a regular expression
pattern in gsub()?  I don't care how many characters following backslash.

txt <- "Is This Thing\xa0On? http://bit.ly/jAbKem  wait \023 for people \xab
and be patient :"

Thanks in advance,
Miao
