Help with gsub function

On Fri, 15 Mar 2019 19:45:27 +0000

Hello Bill,

tb2a$TID2 <- gsub(tb2a$TID, pattern="-[0-0]{0,7}", replacement = "")

Is the pattern supposed to mean something besides the "-" you want to
remove? For the problem you describe, pattern="-" should be enough. It
should locate all hyphens in the string and replace them with empty
strings, i.e. remove them.

Best regards,
Ivan
