Hello Bill, > tb2a$TID2 <- gsub(tb2a$TID, pattern="-[0-0]{0,7}", replacement = "") Is the pattern supposed to mean something besides the "-" you want to remove? For the problem you describe, pattern="-" should be enough. It should locate all hyphens in the string and replace them with empty strings, i.e. remove them. -- Best regards, Ivan ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list -- To UNSUBSCRIBE and more, see https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
