quotes
col.names <- strsplit("one, two, three", ", ")[[1]]
is an easy way to do this. But you can do
paste('"', gsub(', ', '","', "one, two, three"), '"', sep="")
R accepts either single or double quotes and it can make life easier to
use both.

Hi:
I have been struggling with gsub to no avail and am seeking help from
the list.
I want to make a vector of the string "one, two, three" and have
tried to:
- replace each comma by ","
- add " at the beginning of the string
- add " at the end of the string
to issue the command:
col.names <- c("one", "two", "three")
for use in a data frame.
I have tried gsub to get that but am unable to get the double quote
and when I try to escape it (\"), I also get the backslash.
Thanks for your help,
