search.replace {AnalysisPageServer} | R Documentation

## search.replace

### Description

Search and replace strings in a file

### Usage

    search.replace(infile, outfile, replacements, overwrite = FALSE)

### Arguments

`infile` | Path to input file
`outfile` | Path to output file (must be different)
`replacements` | Named charvec of length 1 (single replacement) or 2 (double replacement)
`overwrite` | Boolean. If FALSE then outfile must not yet exist. If TRUE and it already exists then it will be overwritten.

### Details

This is a very limited interface and only meant for internal use.

It will replace all occurances of a string with another string. It may do 1 or 2 replacements.

The result is written to a second file.

This is done in C++ so very fast (I hope).

### Value

Nothing, but might throw an error.
