Subject: Extracting first number after * in a character vector
Hi,
How do I extract the first number after '*' in a vector?
The vector is given below
> dput(out[1:10])
c(" 1 X[0,SMITH] * 0 0 1 ",
" 2 X[0,JOHNSON] * 0 0 1 ",
" 3 X[0,WILLIAMS]", " * 1 0
1 ",
" 4 X[0,JONES] * 0 0 1 ",
" 5 X[0,BROWN] * 0 0 1 ",
" 6 X[0,DAVIS] * 0 0 1 ",
" 7 X[0,MILLER] * 0 0 1 ",
" 8 X[0,WILSON] * 0 0 1 ",
" 9 X[0,MOORE] * 0 0 1 "
)
I want a vector with the first number after the asterisk.
So the output would give me, a vector (0,0,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0)
How can I do it in R?
Best,
Abhinaba
