Re: [R] strsplit and regexp

Try this: > library(gsubfn) > strapply(x, "[0-9]+| +[^ ]+ *")[[1]] [1] "2" " Value " "34" " a-c " "45" " t" which keeps the spaces around the non-numeric entries as in your example; however, if keeping the spaces is not important then its even easier: > strsplit(x, " ")[[1]] [1

[R] strsplit and regexp

Dear list, I am trying to split a string using regexp: x <- "2 Value 34 a-c 45 t" strsplit(x, "[0-9]") [[1]] [1] "" " Value " "" " a-c " "" " t" But I don't want to lose the digits (pattern), the result should be: [[1]] [1] "2" " Value " "34" " a-c " "45" " t" Thanks for any tipp Pat
