I am sorry, I'd like to split my column ("names") such that all the

x$names<-as.character(x$names)
(x)
str(x)
Can't figure out how to apply strsplit in this situation - without
using a loop. I hope it's possible to do it without a loop - is it?
If I understand, strsplit isn't necessary:
sub("X\\.+", "", x$names)
