Dear list,
Say I have a vector that has two different types of string
test <- c('aaa.bb.cc','aaa.dd')
I want to extract the first part of the string (aaa) as a name and save the
rest of the string as another name.
I was thinking something like
sub('(.*)\\.(.*)','\\1',test) but doesn't give me what I want.
Appreciate any comments. Thanks.
