[R] Modify string-regular expression

Hi there everybody,

I would like to be able to modify a string like 'Param_i = Val_i-1' in 'Param_i = Val_i-2' in a text file
Indeed I have two arrays :
-One for the name of my parameters
-One for the new values for each parameter

I would like to write a loop like this one :

...

SCAN <- scan("File.txt",sep="\n",  what="raw",blank.lines.skip=F)
For (i in 1:Nb_param)
{
    sub('Param[i] = Value_i-1','Param[i] = Value_i-2', SCAN)
}

...

I Know how to modify a string with sub when it is a fixed string : sub("(K =)([0-9]*)",paste("\\1", Value[i,2]),SCAN)
But i would like to know if it is possible to use the function paste or something else in the first argument of the function sub.
For example, the correct syntax of :
' sub("(Param[i])([0-9]*)",paste("\\1", Value[i,2]),SCAN) '


If I'm not clear enough please let me know..
Thank you for your help.


Romain
