Dear R People: I have a data frame with the following column names:
> names(funky) [1] "UHD.1" "UHD.2" "UHD.3" "UHD.4" "L..W..1" "L..W..2" "L..W..3" [8] "L..W..4" "B..W..1" "B..W..2" "B..W..3" "B..W..4" "W..B..1" "W..B..2" [15] "W..B..3" "W..B..4" "B..G..1" "B..G..2" "B..G..3" "B..G..4" I would like to extract the letters from them; no periods, no numbers. I tried the following: > grep("[A:Z]",names(funky)) integer(0) But this doesn't do it. I've also been experimenting with strsplit, but no luck yet. Any help would be much appreciated.
