str_replace_all problem

[realusername]

Hi, I am trying to use str_replace_all but get this error:

In stri_replace_all_regex(string, pattern, fix_replacement(replacement), :
argument is not an atomic vector; coercing

Here's my code:

  str_replace_all(c('17412F45' = "Accent LE",
                    '28402F45' = "Sonata SE",
                    '284H2F4P' = "Sonata SE",
                    '284J2F4P' = "Sonata SEL",
                    '284K2F4P' = "Sonata Sport",
                    '284L2F4P' = "Sonata Limited",
                    '284M2F45' = "Sonata Limited 2.0T",
                    '48412F45' = "Elantra SE"))

You are just passing the pattern argument, but you are missing the string argument, so the function doesn't have nothing to replace.

library(stringr)

text = c("apples and oranges and pears and bananas")

str_replace_all(string = text,
                pattern = c('apples' = "pineapples",
                            'oranges' = "strawberries")
)
#> [1] "pineapples and strawberries and pears and bananas"

The usage of str_replace_all is

str_replace_all(string, pattern, replacement)

You are only providing the string parameter. Can you explain more about what you want to accomplish?

no sorry, this is just a part of my code. let's say I have it like this:

x <- y %>%
str_replace_all(....

unless I still need to use the argument?
And it's a tibble and not a vector if that helps

For a dataframe and with dplyr you need to use it this way

library(dplyr)
library(stringr)

fruits <- data.frame(
    col = c("apples and oranges and pears and bananas", 
            "pineapples and mangos and guavas")
)

fruits %>% 
    mutate(col = str_replace_all(col, pattern = c('apples' = "pineapples",
                                                  'oranges' = "strawberries")))
#>                                                 col
#> 1 pineapples and strawberries and pears and bananas
#> 2              pinepineapples and mangos and guavas

no sorry, this is just a part of my code. let's say I have it like this:

A minimal reproducible example consists of the following items: A minimal dataset, necessary to reproduce the error The minimal runnable code necessary to reproduce the error, which can be run on the given dataset, and including the necessary information on the used packages. Let's quickly go over each one of this with an example: Minimal Dataset (Sample Data) You need to provide a dataframe that is small enough to be (reasonably) pasted on a post, but big enough to reproduce your issue.
