Hi, i have a vector filled with names:
[1] Alvaro Adela ...
[25] Beatriz Berta ...
...
[100000] ...
I would like to drop last character in every name.
I use the next program:
for (i in 1:100000) {
largo <- nchar(names[i]-1)
names[i] <- substring (names[i],1,largo]
}
Is another and faster way of do it?
Thanks,
Sebastián.
