I didn't realize that the stringr R package had added a fixed() modifier like gsub's fixed = TRUE so that literal text is compared, #rstats. Example: library(stringr) str_replace("my (dog) has fleas", "(dog)", "dog") str_replace("my (dog) has fleas", fixed("(dog)"), "dog")

A handy git command -- this will give you the git commit where a line of text got removed: git log -S 'text that accidentally got removed' /path/to/file

For all the promise and controversy around Chat GPT it sure can minimize coding chores. Here I just wanted to separate R packages by commas and add quotations -- worked first try. #rstats

If you need to generate a CREATE TABLE statement for a table in #rstats the DBI::sqlCreateTable() function is a good place to start.

Boring but handy. Browse to a directory on your computer from #rstats with this command. I'm finding it useful when I create a temporary directory and want to review what's in there. tempdir_path <- tempdir() utils::browseURL(tempdir_path)

The tagQuery() function provides an effective way to query and modify HTML in #rstats, #rshiny. For example, say you want to add the "red-text" class to a textInput label:
