I have a text string "test.a..34"
I wish to extract the text that comes after ".." (e.g. "34"), and the text
that comes before ".." (e.g. "test.a").
What is a good way to do this? Also, can you help me understand how to use
"wildcards" such as "*" with sub, etc?
#This seems to work, but I am unclear how it works:
sub("\\*..", "", "test.a..34")
#This does not work:
sub("\\*..", "", "test.a..34")
