Hi all,
>From one of the columns of the data frame I want to search and
extract a text that contains Tall or Short and create new column
that should contain these texts in a corresponding row.
My example data and the desired output are shown below
dat<-read.table(text="obs Year char
1 2001 Tall156
2 2002 12565Tall

4 2004 Short
5 2005 54all
6 2006 7Short12 ",header=TRUE,stringsAsFactors=F)
dat$new <- " "
Desired out put
obs Year char new
1 2001 Tall156 Tall
2 2002 12565Tall Tall
3 2003 all54
5 2004 Short Short
