Hi,
I have the following data that looks like this:
names(dat)
[1] "(-2329,-2319]" "(-1399,-1389]" "(-669.4,-659.4]"
How can I modify those names into just this?
[1] -2329 -1399 -669.4
I would imagine that what is wanted is slightly (!) more general.
Something
along the lines of:
sapply(strsplit(names(dat),","),function(x){gsub("\\(","",x[1])})
Someone who knows more about regular expressions could doubtless do this
much more slickly, just using gsub() and without recourse to strsplit(),
but the foregoing works.
cheers,
Rolf Turner
