[TxMt] Re: Regular expression to replace code

[Ross Ahmed]

Perhaps the whole question didn't get posted 

I would select is.numeric(mean(mtcars$mpg)), hit use as find, and use a regular expression to replace is.numeric(mean(mtcars$mpg)) with mean(mtcars$mpg). 

In another instance, I would select is.character(length('a', 'b')), hit use as find, and use a regular expression to replace is.character(length('a', 'b')) with length('a', 'b'). 

In another instance, I would select summary(lm(y ~ x)), hit use as find, and use a regular expression to replace summary(lm(y ~ x)) with lm(y ~ x).
