Hi all - this is a very basic question: how does one index substrings of a character string, for example get the 2nd through 5th characters of the string "testing", in the R language? Indexing with square brackets seems only to work for vectors, lists, etc., and although I've found plenty of functions for concatenating strings, running substitutions with regexps and the like, I seem to be at a loss when it comes to indexing or selecting substrings.
I'm sure I'm missing something very obvious here, but I ask only after having scoured the basic help manuals. I am not so subscribed to this list, so if any replies could be sent directly to me. Thanks very much, -----Ben -- __________________________________________________________ Sign-up for your own personalized E-mail at Mail.com Search Smarter - get the new eXact Search Bar for free! http://www.exactsearchbar.com/ ______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list https://www.stat.math.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help
