perl expression question
If this is a path name, then 'basename' will work for you:
stock<-"/opt/limsrv/mark/research/equity/projects/testDL/stock_data/fhdb/US/BLC.NYSE" basename(stock)
[1] "BLC.NYSE"

If I have the string below. does someone know a regular expression to just get the "BLC.NYSE". I bought the O'Reilley book and read it when I can and I study the solutions on the list but I'm still not self sufficient with these things. Thanks. stock<-"/opt/limsrv/mark/research/equity/projects/testDL/stock_data/fhdb/US/BLC.NYSE"
