[R] question of R to do perl matching and matched string extraction

Hi, I want to extract some of the substring via pattern recognition. But I don't know how to do it in R. In perl: my $url = "/pages-cell.net/deepan/sony/"; if($url =~ m/\/(.*)\//g) { my @result = $1; return @result; } How does the same work in R? Thanks much in advance -- Waverley @ Palo Al
