The problem is that some rows (4,23, for example) contain a little description of the product, which I don't need. I've tried a lot of thins, like this one: TV_Precios3 <- gsub("^S ^[0-9]{2}\\$","",TV_Precios2) Without result. Any help is welcome. After that I want to separate them with colsplit (have this solved) based on "S/.". head(TV_Precios3,50) [1] "S/. 2,499.00S/. 1,999.00" [2] "S/. 2,299.00 S/. 1,599.00" [3] "S/. 2,299.00 S/. 1,599.00" [4] "S 40\" FULL HD 40LF6350S/. 1,999.00S/. 1,699.00" [5] "S/. 5,999.00S/. 4,799.00" [6] "S/. 3,499.00S/. 2,999.00" [7] "S/. 4,799.00S/. 3,699.00" [8] "S/. 599.00" [9] "S/. 1,299.00" [10] "S/. 999.00 S/. 799.00" [11] "S/. 1,999.00 S/. 1,699.00" [12] "S/. 999.00 S/. 849.00" [13] "S/. 499.00 S/. 439.00" [14] "S610S/. 1,899.00" [15] "S/. 1,799.00S/. 1,699.00" [16] "S/. 2,299.00S/. 1,699.00" [17] "S/. 8,999.00S/. 7,299.00" [18] "S9000S/. 10,999.00S/. 8,999.00" [19] "S9000S/. 14,999.00S/. 12,999.00" [20] "S/. 6,999.00S/. 5,999.00" [21] "S/. 2,799.00S/. 2,299.00" [22] "S/. 2,999.00S/. 2,649.00" [23] "SMART 49LF5900S/. 2,399.00S/. 2,149.00" [24] "S/. 2,299.00 S/. 1,599.00" ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list -- To UNSUBSCRIBE and more, see https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
