Hi, I have a string

"InTrouble"

and want to extract, say, the first two characters: "In"
or the last three: "blee"
or the 3rd, 4th, and 5th: "Trou"

Is there an easy way of doing this quickly with regular expressions in gsub, 
grep or similar?

Hi Gonçalo,
You could always try:

Im<-"InTrouble"
paste(unlist(strsplit(Im,""))[c(7,4,1,2,9,8,5,6,3)],collapse="")
