Hello,
I have files from an equipment with column names including dots.I would like to 
simplify these names but all my attempts with sub and regular expressions are 
unsuccessful.
I havec( 
"colone..xx.","coltwo.ft..rr.","colthree.gh..az.","colfour.DG..lm.")and I would 
like to have c( "colone","coltwo.ft","colthree.gh","colfour.DG")

that means to delete everything after the two dots but to keep strings after 
intermediate dot like in colfour.DG
Thanks in advance for your help (a working solution would be good, 
explainations with the working solution would be ideal).Nice day,Ptit Bleu.
