Subject: [R] read.socket - Strange strings. How to force sub
to remove all occurences of a pattern?
I am opening a connection to an apache server sending a get
and then I am reading from the socket. All works finde except
that I am getting some strange strings disrupting the html e.g.
<FON\r\nffb\r\nT COLOR ...
\r\na48\r\n
\r\nffb\r\n
They are not frequent ( a few of them) but of course make live hard.
I cant observe them with lynx --source they dont occure.
I am trying a workaround with sub. But it removes only the
first occurence. How I can force sub to remove all occurences
of a pattern and not only the first?
