[R] How to replace '$' sign?

[Christofer Bogaso]

Hello again,

I want to remove "$" sign and replace with nothing in my text.
Therefore I used following code:

> gsub("$|,", "", "$232,685.35436")
[1] "$232685.35436"


However I could not remove '$' sign.

Can somebody help me why is it so?

Thanks and regards
