remove "()" in Rdata

Question

There is an example data.

|type | |1,2()| |1,3()| |1 |

I would like to remove "()" in the data.

|type | |1,2 | |1,3 | |1 |

So, I tried the "str_replace" in dplyr package.

mutate(type = str_replace(type, pattern="()", replacement =""))

But it didn't work, and there is still "()" in the data. How does it work?

`()` have special meaning in regex, you need to escape them. Use `str_remove(type, "\\(|\\)")` — Ronak Shah, Apr 23 '21 at 01:03
