If you have some variations of the order of numbers followed by chars,
library(stringr)
v1 <- c("absdfds0213451ab", "123abcs4145")
pattern=c("[A-Za-z]+", "\\d+")
do.call(`Map`,c(c,lapply(pattern, function(.pat) str_extract_all(v1, .pat))))
#[[1]]
#[1] "absdfds" "ab" "0213451"
#[[2]]
#[1] "abcs" "123" "4145"

Hi,
If I have a string of consecutive chars followed by consecutive numbers and
then chars, like "absdfds0213451ab", how to separate the consecutive chars from
consecutive numbers?
grep doesn't seem to be helpful
grep("[a-z]","absdfds0213451ab", ignore.case=T)
[1] 1
grep("[0-9]","absdfds0213451ab", ignore.case=T)
[1] 1
Thanks
Carol
