R help - Oct 2007 - disperse variable

Hello all,
   
  I read the following variable
  > x
                x
1  1_A1_ML1_a.DLL
2 11_B1_ML2_a.DLL
3  4_A1_ML3_a.DLL
4 55_C1_ML4_a.DLL
5 14_C1_ML5_a.DLL
   
  I would like to disperse it in three variable such as
  > x1
[1]  1 11  4 55 14
> x2
[1] "A1" "B1" "A1" "C1"
"C1"
> x3
[1] "ML1" "ML2" "ML3" "ML4"
"ML5"

  Are there any function which could enable to do this?
   
  Thank you in advance!
  Stefo

Hi Stefo,

You can use strsplit(), something like this:

strsplit(x,split="_")

You'll get a list with the three vectors.
