Re: [R] need help with strsplit function

Using strapply in gsubfn we can match by contents rather than delimiter. Parentheses in the regular expression surround captured portions. The first such captured portion is any string not containing a dot. We then follow that by matching a dot and a second captured expression which is anything.

[R] need help with strsplit function

Hi, if I have this string: "a.b.c.d" and I use this function: unlist(strsplit("a.b.c.d", "\\.")), I get this as my output: "a", "b", "c", and "d". Is there a way to just split on the first period so I obtain only two pieces like: "a" and "b.c.d"? Anyways, thanks in advance! -- View this message i
