Hi Mat,
Try that:
gsub("[A-Za-z]", "", df$A)
This is a regular expression that looks for all characters (A to Z and a
to z) and replaces it with nothing ("")
You will need to convert the column to numeric after this operation.
HTH,
Ivan

Hello togehter,
i have a litte problem to convert a data.frame. My data.frame looks like
this one
A
1 R5000
2 R4800
3 R4700
4 3500
5 3800
I need now a command, which outputs all the numbers, without the character
in front.
The solution look like this one:
A
1 5000
2 4800
3 4700
4 3500
5 3800
Thanks.
Best regards. Mat
