Hey everybody! I have a problem with triming a string. I can get rid of the blank space in front and at the back of a string and even trim a string at the back. But I don't know how to do it in the front. For Example: I have a string "Blackberry" and i want to delete the first 5 characters to get just "berry". Tnx for your help

Here are three ways:
substring("blackberry", 6)
[1] "berry"
sub("^black", "", "blackberry")
[1] "berry"
sub(".{5}", "", "blackberry")
[1] "berry"
