[R] separate numbers from chars in a string

[Rui Barradas]

Hello,

Maybe ?gregexpr and ?regmatches. SOmething like the following.


m1 <- gregexpr("[a-z]+","absdfds0213451ab")
regmatches("absdfds0213451ab", m1)

m2 <- gregexpr("[0-9]+","absdfds0213451ab")
regmatches("absdfds0213451ab", m2)


Hope this helps,

Rui Barradas
