two questions about character manipulation

Dear all, I want to manipulate a character string such as ex<-"cbind(data$response1,data$response2)" in R in two ways: 1) extracting the "response1" portion of ex
I'm not sure what you mean by "portion" -- if you just want "response1" why do you need to process ex? You probably wind up wanting to use gsub() and putting in "" for things which aren't response1, but again, it seems impractical...
2) replacing "$" with "."
gsub("$", ".", ex, fixed = TRUE)
Cheers,

I am wondering that is it possible efficiently doing these in R? Best Ozgur -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/two-questions-about-character-manipulation-tp4643292.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
