[R] pattern search

[Sean Liang]

Bert:

I thought about that but was a bit concerned with the number of strings
(10^4) in my vector. Each of these strings can have any number of a
given patterns. I will give it a test to see if this is computationally
efficient. 


Thanks.

Use regexp() in a loop that deletes each successive occurrence of the
pattern via substring() and keeps count.
