break string at specified possitions
Dunno -- but you might have a look at Hadley Wickham's 'stringr' package: https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/stringr/stringr.pdf Cheers, Bert Bert Gunter "The trouble with having an open mind is that people keep coming along and sticking things into it." -- Opus (aka Berkeley Breathed in his "Bloom County" comic strip )

Dear R-help I would like to split long string at specified precomputed positions. 'substring' needs beginings and ends. Is there a native function which accepts positions so I don't have to count second argument? For example I have vector of possitions pos<-c(5,10,19). Substring needs input first=c(1,6,11) and last=c(5,10,19). There is no problem to write my own function. Just asking. Derek
