Hi--
I have three columns in an input file:
MONTH QUARTER YEAR
2012-07 2012-3 2012
2001-07 2001-3 2001
2002-01 2002-1 2002
I want to make output like so:
MONTH QUARTER YEAR
07 3 2012
07 3 2001
01 1 2002
I was having some trouble getting the regular expression to work. I think
it should be something like the following:
tmp <- uncurated$MONTH
*tmp <- gsub("[^-\\d\\d]","",tmp,perl=TRUE)*
*tmp[tmp=="-"] <- ""*
*curated$MONTH <- tmp*
*
*
tmp <- uncurated$QUARTER
*tmp <- gsub("[^-\\d]","",tmp,perl=TRUE)*
*tmp[tmp=="-"] <- ""*
*curated$QUARTER <- tmp*
*
*
*but it's not quite working. I want to be able to isolate any digits that
occur after the hyphen and to delete everything before and including the
hyphen. Would greatly appreciate any clarification anyone can provide.*
