Hi, In perl, to get a substring matching a particular pattern can be implemented like the following example:
$x = "AAAA.txt"; if ($x=~ /(.*?)\.txt/){ $prefix = $1; } So how to do the same thing in R? Can someone provide me the code sample? Thanks much in advance. -- Waverley @ Palo Alto ______________________________________________ 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.
