Hello,

Maybe ?gregexpr and ?regmatches. SOmething like the following.


m1 <- gregexpr("[a-z]+","absdfds0213451ab")
regmatches("absdfds0213451ab", m1)

m2 <- gregexpr("[0-9]+","absdfds0213451ab")
regmatches("absdfds0213451ab", m2)


Hope this helps,

Rui Barradas

Hi,
If I have a string of consecutive chars followed by consecutive numbers and then chars, 
like "absdfds0213451ab", how to separate the consecutive chars from consecutive 
numbers?

grep doesn't seem to be helpful

grep("[a-z]","absdfds0213451ab", ignore.case=T)
[1] 1


  grep("[0-9]","absdfds0213451ab", ignore.case=T)
[1] 1

Thanks

Carol
