Publicly produce something we can work with. I have no idea how to create an example that will match such an object.

?dput
?dump

Thanks David for your fast reply, but now I realized tat "string" is
of type:

class(string)
[1] "jobjRef"
attr(,"package")
[1] "rJava"

so I get an error when i try with gsub or sub:

sub("^.+\\t(\\d+)\\n.+$", "\\1", string)
Error in as.character.default(x) :
 no method for coercing this S4 class to a vector

I think that there should be trivial solution, but... Any further
idea?

Dear all,

I'm trying to filter out the "number of leaves" (it should be 1 in the
example below) from the following string:

string
[1] "Java-Object{J48 pruned tree\n------------------\n: 0 (15.0/3.0)\n
\nNumber of Leaves  : \t1\n\nSize of the tree : \t1\n}"

Any idea how to do that as simple as possible? Thanks in advance for
any advice.

?sub   # or ?gsub if you need more than one pattern matched (they are
on the same page).

This should find the first occurrence of digits following a tab
terminated by a line feed and then return only the digits:

string <- "Java-Object{J48 pruned tree\n------------------\n: 0
(15.0/3.0)\n \nNumber of Leaves  : \t1\n\nSize of the tree : \t1\n}"
sub("^.+\\t(\\d+)\\n.+$", "\\1", string)
[1] "1"

The parens within the search pattern are matched to "\\1". Need to
double backslashed within patterns.



Regards, Andrej
