This is actually exactly the same problem as Vectorization and passing a matrix as an argument - #2 by rdeits from earlier today. If you want each element in P
to receive the entire vector ['{', '}']
, then you can wrap that vector in a one-element tuple (to “scalarize” it):
julia> P = ["{foo", "bar}", "baz}"]
3-element Array{String,1}:
"{foo"
"bar}"
"baz}"
julia> strip.(P, ['{', '}'])
ERROR: DimensionMismatch("arrays could not be broadcast to a common size")
