Hi ,

I have tried

gsub(".*York(\\d+).*", "\\1", grep("New York", x, value = TRUE))

and outputs

"P New York722AZ" "K New York20"

Strange:

> x<-c("P Los Angeles44AZ", "P New York722AZ", "K New York20")
>
> gsub(".*York(\\d+).*", "\\1", grep("New York", x, value = TRUE))
[1] "722" "20"



but that is not what i want, I want the output to be

722,20




Aside from being a character vector without commas, it seemed pretty close.
