Hi Sun,
vec <- c("2324gz","2567 HK","3741,BF")
vec1 <- gsub('[^[:digit:]]','',vec)
vec2 <- gsub('[^[:alpha:]]','',vec)
> vec1
[1] "2324" "2567" "3741"
> vec2
[1] "gz" "HK" "BF"
Cheers
Vincenzo

[R] regex sulotion for seperating number and string
I have strings contain postcode and letters, some seperated with blank,
some
with comma, and some hasn't seperated. eg, "2324gz" "2567 HK" "3741,BF"
I want to seperate the number and letters into two new variables.
I know this should be quite basic question, but searched on regex syntax
and
that seems a bit scarey to me, any one can shot me a quick solution on
this
particular question?
thanks,
Sun
