Look into things like sub("\\..*$", "", Lab.id) or maybe sapply(strsplit(Lab.id, "\\."), "[[", 1) (if Lab.id is a factor, you need first to transform using as.character in the 2nd version) > ******************************************************************* > Ross Bricklemyer > Dept. of Crop and Soil Sciences > Washington State University > 291D Johnson Hall > PO Box 646420 > Pullman, WA 99164-6420 > Work: 509.335.3661 > Cell/Home: 406.570.8576 > Fax: 509.335.8674 > Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > > > ______________________________________________ > R-help@r-project.org mailing list > https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help > PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html > and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code. > -- O__ ---- Peter Dalgaard Ă˜ster Farimagsgade 5, Entr.B c/ /'_ --- Dept. of Biostatistics PO Box 2099, 1014 Cph.
