Hi All, I have a character vector by name tickers > head(tickers,10) V1 1 ADARSHPL.BO 2 AGR.V 3 AGU 4 AGU.TO 5 AIMCO.BO 6 ALUFLUOR.BO 7 AMZ.V 8 AVD 9 ANILPROD.BO 10 ARIES.BO
I would like to extract all elements that has ".BO" in it. I tried > grep("\.BO",tickers) Error: '\.' is an unrecognized escape in character string starting "\." > grep(".BO",tickers) [1] 1 Could any one please guide me on this. Many thanks for the help Best Regards, Krishna [[alternative HTML version deleted]] ______________________________________________ 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.
