[R] substring if a record has a "\"

[Pascal Oettli]

Hello,

Something like that?

x <- c('Marius Muller -\nIT Services','Rockwood\nBrockhues','Microlog
Services\nMarcos','Firefox Services')
x <- sapply(strsplit(x, '\n'), '[', 1)
x
[1] "Marius Muller -"   "Rockwood"          "Microlog Services"
[4] "Firefox Services"

Regards,
Pascal
