Hi
A while back I used gsub to do the following
temp<-"000US00231"
gsub("something here", "", temp)
"00231"
I think it involved the `meta characters' somehow.
I do not know how to do this anymore. I know strsplit will also work but I
remember gsub was much faster. In essence the question is how to delete
all characters before a particular pattern.
If anyone has some help file for this, it will be greatly appreciated.
