HI,
One more method to extract the code:
add1<-"200 W Rosamond St, Houston, TX 77076, USA"
?sub(".*\\s.*\\s.*\\s.*\\s.*\\s.*\\s([[:digit:]]{5}).*","\\1",add1)
#[1] "77076"
#or,
?sub(".*\\s+([[:digit:]]{5}).*","\\1",ttt)
#[1] "77076"
A.K.

Subject: [R] named character question
Dear R People:
Here is a goofy question:
I want to extract the zip code from an address and here is my work so far:
Named chr "200 W Rosamond St, Houston, TX 77076, USA"
- attr(*, "names")= chr "results.formatted_address"
What am I not seeing, please?
Thanks,
Erin
