R help - Nov 2010 - Regexp question

I have a vector like this:

a <- c("thisIsName", "thisIsAlsoName",
"andThisName")

How to break this into pieces and produce a vector with unique parts:

this
Is
Name
Also
and
This

-J

Try this:

Reduce(union, strsplit(gsub("([A-Z])", ";\\1", a),
";"))

Try this:

library(gsubfn)
strapply(a, ".[[:lower:]]*")

See http://gsubfn.googlecode.com for more.
