Hi, I have this string, in which I want to extract some of it's element:
> x <- "Best-K Gene 11340 211952_at RANBP5 Noc= 3 - 2 LL= -963.669 -965.35" yielding this array [1] "211952_at" "RANBP5" "2" In Perl we would do it this way: __BEGIN__ my @needed =(); my $str = "Best-K Gene 11340 211952_at RANBP5 Noc= 3 - 2 LL= -963.669 -965.35"; $str =~ /Best-K Gene \d+ (\w+) (\w+) Noc= \d - (\d) LL= (.*)/; push @needed, ($1,$2,$3); __END___ How can we achieve this with R? - E.W. ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list 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.
