Hello, Try
txt <- "LTA4H||Leukotriene A4 hydrolase" pattern <- "\\|\\|.*$" gsub(pattern, "", txt) Hope this helps, Rui Barradas Em 06-06-2012 21:45, Bill Hyman escreveu:
Dear all, Does any one know how to remove part of the string? For example, "LTA4H||Leukotriene A4 hydrolase" is a gene name plus gene description. I hope to remove "||Leukotriene A4 hydrolase". What would be the R code to do that using gsub()? Many thanks!
