How to remove double inverted commas in R vector?


To remove double inverted commas in R vector, we can follow the below steps −

  • First of all, create a vector.

  • Then, use print function along with quote argument.

Example 1

Create the vector

Let’s create a vector as shown below −

x1<-sample(c("1","2","3","4","5","6","7","8","9","10"),250,replace=TRUE)
x1

Output

On executing, the above script generates the below output(this output will vary on your system due to randomization) −

 [1]   "8" "10" "3"  "5"  "6"  "10" "7"  "9" "1" "10"  "1"  "2" "1"  "8"
[15]   "6" "8"  "3"  "10" "2"  "9"  "4"  "5" "10" "6"  "5"  "6" "8"  "5"
[29]   "6" "7"  "1"  "2"  "4"  "4"  "10" "8" "7"  "5"  "8"  "9" "4"  "2"
[43]   "3" "8"  "6"  "6"  "10" "9"  "9"  "3" "8"  "2"  "10" "1" "2"  "4"

[127]  "5" "1"  "8"  "10" "5"  "6"  "1"  "8" "6"  "2"  "10" "6" "4"  "10"
[141] "10" "8"  "2"  "4"  "9"  "3"  "4"  "8" "4"  "4"  "8"  "7" "5"  "9"
[155]  "9" "2"  "9"  "3"  "3"  "10" "2"  "1" "6"  "3"  "2"  "1" "1"  "6"

Remove double inverted commas

Using print function along with quote argument to remove double inverted commas −

x1<-sample(c("1","2","3","4","5","6","7","8","9","10"),250,replace=TRUE)
print(x1,quote=FALSE)

Output

 [1]  8 10 3  5  6 10 7 9  1 10  1 2 1 8 6  8  3 10 2  9  4  5 10  6
