I want to remove everything before period (.) sign in the following string in R. I tried with gsub function.
Test <- c("Data.A", "Data.B", "Data.C", "Data.D")
gsub("[.]", "", Test)
Any help will be highly appreciated. Thanks
Try this:
gsub("^.*\\.", "", Test)What’s it doing? Matches the beginning of the string with any character, any number of times. Then matches a single period. It replaces all of that with nothing.
