Thanks for the suggestions.
gsub("hello (.*)", "\\1", "hello world")
seems simplest.
Setting value=TRUE returns the whole match, not the subexpression.
(I always read the man pages carefully before asking for help, gratuituous
comments notwithstanding. I didn't see a solution using gregexpr; if the
poster wants to point out my oversight, he is welcome to do so.)
