I wrote a find and replace function for my data set, I want to change a particular string in a column from every occurrence of X to Y. I wrote this function although it does not change the dataset it creates a group of values? How can I modify this to change the strings in that column
data <- gsub("X", "Y", data_frame$column)
Edit 1: Also tried this although did not fully understand. https://www.rdocumentation.org/packages/DataCombine/versions/0.2.21/topics/FindReplace
I got the solution, was a very simple syntax error actually.
data_frame$column <- gsub("X", "Y", data_frame$column)
