Dear all,
I have a vector, which looks about like this: str <- c("14.XYZ", "15.ABCDE", "16.dkieowo", "120.EIDKAI") I need to extract the numerical characters out of the string, so I receive in the end a normal vector containing: vec <- c(14, 15, 16, 120) I need a generic solution for this. My actual vector contains about 403 strings, and it is bound to change with different versions of my calculations. So I need something that either extracts all numeric characters or deletes everything else. I hope you can help me out.
