Thanks a lot, Henrique,
but I realised, my strings look a bit more complicated, like this:
x<-c("starts 2000.1 some words","starts 2001.2 different
words","starts 2008.10 other stuff","starts 2010.12 sth else")
I tried to modify the gsub statement but can't get it working.
Thank you for your help!
Dimitri
