Hi,
here im unable to run a string handle function called unpaste().
for eg:- a<- "12345_mydata"
Actually my requirement what is i need to get , only 12345. Means that , i
need the all letter as a word which is before of first " _ " - symbol of
"a". i tried to do with unpaste, it says function not found. After that i
tried with "strsplit() ". it ran, but again i need to write another method
to get again after spliting.
Any other good method is there for this requirement ?
Hi Antony,
You probably want:
strsplit(a,"_")[[1]][1]
which can be used for more than one input string
a<-paste(sample(12345:13456,10),"mydata",sep="_")
sapply(strsplit(a,"_"),"[",1)
