Greetings,

I have a vector of values that are a word followed by a number, e.g., x =
c("Apple12","HP42","Dell91").  The goal is to split this vector into two
vectors such that the first vector contains just the words and the second
contains just the numbers.  I cannot use strsplit (or at least I do not know
how) as there is no obvious separator.

I can use sub to create a separator, e.g., y = sub("([[:digit:]])","
\\1",x), and then use strsplit, but I thought more experienced R users may
have a better solution.  I've spent some time with Google, but not turned up
anything so far.

Many thanks,
--Krishna
