hi there I have a vector with a set of data.I just wanna seperate them based on the first p and q values metioned within the data.
[1] chr10p15.3 /// chr3q29 /// chr4q35 /// chr9q34.3 [2] chr1q22-q24 [3] chr1q22-q24 [4] chr1pter-q24 [5] chr1pter-q24 [6] chr1pter-q24 i used a regular expression [+q*] to match up the values but it matches q found anywhere i know i have written like that but i jus want it to match the first p or q values. my result should be for q and [2] chr1q22-q24 [3] chr1q22-q24 for p [1] chr10p15.3 /// chr3q29 /// chr4q35 /// chr9q34.3 [4] chr1pter-q24 [5] chr1pter-q24 [6] chr1pter-q24 -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Regular-Expression-help-tp20385971p20385971.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________ 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.
