Hi Mat,
Try that:
gsub("[A-Za-z]", "", df$A)This is a regular expression that looks for all characters (A to Z and a to z) and replaces it with nothing ("")
You will need to convert the column to numeric after this operation.

Hello togehter, i have a litte problem to convert a data.frame. My data.frame looks like this one A 1 R5000 2 R4800 3 R4700 4 3500 5 3800 I need now a command, which outputs all the numbers, without the character in front. The solution look like this one:A1 5000 2 4800 3 4700 4 3500 5 3800 Thanks. Best regards.
