Here is a hack, crude solution to get the digits:

Digits <- function(a){
 out <- rep(NA,nchar(a))
 for(i in 1:nchar(a)) out[i] <- substr(a,i,i)
 return(as.numeric(out))
}

Digits(183429)

str1 <- c(12345, 34567, 45678)
sapply(strsplit(as.character(str1), "") , unlist)

     [,1] [,2] [,3]
[1,] "1"  "3"  "4"
[2,] "2"  "4"  "5"
[3,] "3"  "5"  "6"
[4,] "4"  "6"  "7"
[5,] "5"  "7"  "8"

If all you want is the last three numbers, consider another hack solution:

Last3Digits <- function(a)   as.numeric(substr(a,nchar(a)-2,nchar(a)))

Last3Digits(23495329)

Hope that helps. These are hack solutions, and I'm willing to bet there is
better stuff available.

Hi Everyone,
A quick question how to store a number like 12345 to a vector or array with
size(1,5), like 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
So I can compare if the last three digits of this number is the same with
some other numbers.

Thanks a lot
