Hi,
I have a vector of strings (class character) with 6 elements (length
6). I call it 'names'.
"Graham Chapman"
"John Cleese"
"Terry Gilliam"
"Eric Idle"
"Terry Jones"
"Michael Palin"
And I want to turn it into another vector of strings called
'shortnames' with the same length.
The new vector should look like:
"Gra Cha"
"Joh Cle"
"Ter Gil"
"Eri Idl"
"Ter Jon"
"Mic Pal"
I just want to clip the first three characters of each word inside
each string.
Would anyone know how to do this quickly?
Thanks!
Gonçalo
