Hello,
I am attempting to manipulate strings in which there are differing amounts
of whitespace before and after each element taht I want to keep (any word,
letter, or number). However, after strsplit and unlist, I know how to select
specific elements with "[ ]", but I want to select instead all elements that
are not missing. That is, do not select any elements that are simply "".
output <- c("a b 8888 6")
gsub(" ","",unlist(strsplit(output," ",fixed=TRUE)))
[1] "a" "" "b" "8888" "" "" "6"
Thanks! Scott Chamberlain
