For example, if I want to retrieve Aaaa and Bbbb (which could be any strings) or the numbers 3 and 0, I would do this: library(gsubfn) pat <- "^([a-zA-Z ]+) ([1-9]*[0-9]) x ([1-9]*[0-9]) ([a-zA-Z ]+)$" s <- "My team 3 x 0 the team from Outer Space" x <- strapply(s, pat, c)[[1]] Then x[1] is s, x[2] is "My team", x[3] is "3", x[4] is "0" and x[5] is "the team from Outer Space".
