Replace all occurrences of a string in a data frame

by

If you are only looking to replace all occurrences of "< " (with space) with "<" (no space), then you can do an lapply over the data frame, with a gsub for replacement:

> data <- data.frame(lapply(data, function(x) {
+                  gsub("< ", "<", x)
+              }))
> data
  name var1 var2
1    a   <2   <3
2    a   <2   <3
3    a   <2   <3
4    b   <2   <3
5    b   <2   <3
6    b   <2   <3
7    c   <2   <3
8    c   <2   <3
9    c   <2   <3
