Er, 2.2.1....
OS: Mac OS-X 10.4.3 Submission from: (NULL) (87.112.79.124) sub returns garbage in some strings when replacing something with nothing and fixed=TRUE. For example:
a=c('hello','hello'); sub('lo','',a,fixed=TRUE)
[1] "hel" "hel\0\0"
a=c('hello','hello'); sub('lo','',a,fixed=FALSE)
[1] "hel" "hel"
Confirmed on Linux & Windows. We've seen this symptom a few times before....
...and fixed it, apparently! (Thanks Marc.) I claim XP braindamage -- I'm not Linuxifying my new ThinkPad until FC5 is out.
