All - I have a column of SiteNames:
SiteName OYS-PIA2-FL-1 OYS-PIA2-LA-1 OYS-PI-LA-BB-1 OYS-PIA2-LA-10 ... [truncated] and I want to include only the last few digits into a new column. I tried substr(data$SiteName, 13, 20) but because some SiteName values are of a different length, the final hyphen (i.e., "-") was included: "1" "1" "-1" "10" ... so I use strsplit(data$SiteName, split = "-") and get "OYS" "PIA2" "FL" "1" "OYS" "PIA2" "LA" "1" "OYS" "PI" "LA" "BB" "1" "OYS" "PIA2" "LA" "10" ... which is great. Unfortunately, I'm stuck. I don't know how to retrieve the final grouping of information from the strsplit() statement I called into a new column. Can you help? Thanks - SR Steven H.
