Re: [R] regex sulotion for seperating number and string

This should do it for you: > x <- c("2564gc", "2367,GH", "2134 JHG") > x.sep <- gsub("([[:digit:]]+)[ ,]*([[:alpha:]]+)", "\\1 \\2", x) > # now create separate values > strsplit(x.sep, " ") [[1]] [1] "2564" "gc" [[2]] [1] "2367" "GH" [[3]] [1] "2134" "JHG" > On 3/5/08, sun <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

Hi Sun, vec <- c("2324gz","2567 HK","3741,BF") vec1 <- gsub('[^[:digit:]]','',vec) vec2 <- gsub('[^[:alpha:]]','',vec) > vec1 [1] "2324" "2567" "3741" > vec2 [1] "gz" "HK" "BF" Cheers Vincenzo --- Vincenzo Luc
