I R-users, I am trying to find the way to manipulate a character string to select a 4 digit number after some specific word/s. Example:
mytext <- "I do not want the first number 1234, but the second number 5678" Is there any function that allows you to select a certain number of digits (in this case 5678) after a particular word/s (e.g., second number) Thank you for your help Lorenzo [[alternative HTML version deleted]] ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
