str_replace_all replacing named vector elements iteratively not all at once

Question

Let\'s say I have a long character string: pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis. I\'d like to use stringr::str_replace_all to replace certain letters w

Answer 1

There is probably an order in what the function does, so after replacing all c by s, you replace all s by c, only c remains .. try this :

long_string %>% str_replace_all(c(c ="X", s = "U"))  %>% str_replace_all(c(X ="s", U = "c"))
