Hi, I'm not being able to capture a position of a 'string' in a character string.
In this example: 'There are 20 species in this grid' I would like to capture the string (number) after 'are' and before 'species'. Consider they do not change. I wouldn't like to use substr because stop position may change. Thanks Paulo ______________________________________________ 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.
