I have the following list of strings:
x <- c("foo, foo2, foo3", "bar", "qux, qux1")
what I want to do is to obtain
foo, bar qux
Namely for each element in the vector obtain only string
before the first comma.
What's the way to do it?
This seems to work:
> x <- c("foo, foo2, foo3", "bar", "qux, qux1")
> sub(",.*$","",x)
[1] "foo" "bar" "qux"
cheers,
