Hello,
I have a vector of dates and I would like to grep the year component
from this vector (= all digits
after the last punctuation character)
dates <- c("28.7.08","28.7.2008","28/7/08", "28/7/2008", "28/07/2008",
"28-07-2008", "28-07-08")
the resulting vector should look like
"08" "2008" "08" "2008" "2008" "2008" "08"
I tried something like (Perl style) with no success
grep("[[:punct:]]?\\d", dates, value=T, perl=T)
Any ideas?
-Lauri
