Dear R Group Here is what i am trying to do.. but couldnt figure out how.. string<-"ABC DEFG HIJKLM NOPQ RSTUV WXY" string1<-substr(string,1,4)
I want to create an R object string 2 ( following the logic shown).. R does not allow string subtraction.. any suggestions how to achieve this? string2<-string-string1 (it should now hold "DEFG HIJKLM NOPQ RSTUV WXY" I want to loop this till i reach the end of the original string.. stringn<-"WXY" Any help would be appreciated.
