Hi, I have a data frame with strings that have two letters and four numbers. When I store a whole row as a new vector and try to remove the preceding letters using the gsub command, it returns characters of single numbers that have no relation to the numbers in each string. I also noticed that when I view the new vector before using gsub, it includes the original headers from the data frame. For example,
The original row will contain (i'm not showing the headers): MT2342 MT0982 MT2874 and after I use the command, 'gsub('[^0-9]','',PthwyGenes),' I get: "6" "6" "8" and this result no longer has any headers. Does anyone know why this happens and how I can fix it?
