A case for [g]sub:
gsub(".", "", sub("[0-9]*$", "", pick), fixed = TRUE)

Hello R-users,
I have code that gives me the important variables from an analysis. I need
to input these variables into a different analysis. To do this, I need to
modify them slightly... 1) remove all numbers at the end of the variables, 2)
remove all periods.
I tried to do it with the awkward code below. It works to remove all the
numbers, but when I try to remove the period everything is lost.
Does anyone have a solution? And perhaps a more elegant way?
pick=c("(Intercept)", "Clear", "factor(Hab)3", "factor(Hab)4",
"factor(Hab)5","factor(Hab)7", "factor(Log)1", "Hunt", "Pop", "s(PrimRd).1",
"s(PrimRd).2", "Unlog", "Xcoord", "Ycoord")
vars=as.character(as.vector(strsplit(pick,"1")))
vars=unique(as.character(as.vector(strsplit(vars,"2"))))
vars=unique(as.character(as.vector(strsplit(vars,"3"))))
vars=unique(as.character(as.vector(strsplit(vars,"4"))))
vars=unique(as.character(as.vector(strsplit(vars,"5"))))
vars=unique(as.character(as.vector(strsplit(vars,"7"))))
vars=unique(as.character(as.vector(strsplit(vars,"."))))
Thanks for your help!
John
