Issue removing two patterns (string and numbers) using regex in R -


i trying remove 2 patterns using str_replace in r.

the patterns remove \\d+_ , baskets

i first tried:

> library(stringr)  > variables <- c("1_smallbaskets", "2_medium", "3_high")  > str_replace(variables, "baskets|\\d+_", "")  [1] "smallbaskets" "medium"       "high"

as far can make out, pattern \\d+_ comes first replaced moves onto next without replacing baskets

i tried making expression greedy (example below), seems checking expression baskets 

> str_replace(variables, "baskets|\\d+_/g", "")  [1] "1_small"  "2_medium" "3_high"

i have tested syntax small|high works, i.e. replaces small or high, don't understand why when trying replace digit , character same logic doesn't apply

with str_replace, replace the first occurrence. str_replace_all, replace all occurrences, matches inside 1 string. see code:

> library(stringr) > variables <- c("1_smallbaskets", "2_medium", "3_high") > str_replace(variables, "baskets|\\d+_", "") [1] "smallbaskets" "medium"       "high"         > str_replace_all(variables, "baskets|\\d+_", "") [1] "small"  "medium" "high"

also, can leverage gsub here:

> gsub("baskets|\\d+_", "", variables) [1] "small"  "medium" "high"

Unlimited choices in BASH case statement -

consider simple bash snippet: case $option in 1) image=${options[0]%.tar} ;; 2) image=${options[1]%.tar} ;; 3) image=${options[2]%.tar} ;; 4) image=${options[3]%.tar} ;; *) echo "invalid option" exit 1 esac in real script numbers goes 30. makes pretty long. can somehow specify cases variable? something this: case $option in $i) image=${options[$(($i-1))]%.tar} any pointer appreciated. you can match against multiple patterns in single clause: case $option in 1|2|3: echo "$option one, 2 or three" ;; esac if still typing you, can use simple pattern matching: case $option in # following matches # - single-digit numbers 0-9 # - two-digit numbers starting either 1 or 2 # - number 30 [0-9]|[12][0-9]|30) image=${options[$(($option-1))]%.tar} ;; *) echo "invalid option" 1>&2 exit 1 esac
