Hi Folks,
I'm trying to extract just the backreferences from a regex.
> temp = "abcd1234abcd1234"
> regmatches(temp, gregexpr("(?:abcd)(1234)", temp))
[[1]]
[1] "abcd1234" "abcd1234"
What I would like is:
[1] "1234" "1234"
Note: I know I can just match 1234 here, but the actual example is
complicated enough that I have to match a larger string, and just want
to pass out the backreferenced portion.
Any help greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Allie
