Hi, all.
Using the patched version of R-0.99.0, I cannot reproduce the following
example from the strsplit documentation:
(Example)
unlist(strsplit("a.b.c", "."))
## [1] "" "" "" "" ""
## Note that `split' is a regexp!
## If you really want to split on `.', use
unlist(strsplit("a.b.c", "\."))
## [1] "a" "b" "c"
The first one gets the stated result, but the second gets me the same
result as the first.
Is there some way to do what's intended?
Thanks,
Matt

(and to get that in formatted docs, the source needs to say unlist(strsplit("a.b.c", "\\\\.")) which it didn't) It's fixed in the snapshots already. -- O__ ---- Peter Dalgaard Blegdamsvej 3 c/ /'_ --- Dept. of Biostatistics 2200 Cph.
