i have a data column of text entries: 26M_AN_C.bmp 22M_AN_C.bmp 20M_HA_O.bmp 20M_AN_C.bmp 26M_HA_O.bmp 22M_HA_O.bmp 31M_AN_C.bmp 38M_HA_O.bmp . . . .
And I would like to sort by the middle tag: AN, HA, etc. Is there a way to parse text data in R? In excel, I would have used the "left" and "right" function to cut out just the middle two letters out and put into another column to sort by.
