R help - Feb 2011 - Question on sapply

Hello All,
Thanks in advance for all help
I have the following vector of strings that I want to split..
> y = c("1/1","2/2", "3/3", "4/4")
> y
[1] "1/1" "2/2" "3/3"
"4/4"
> z = strsplit(y,"/")
> z
[[1]]
[1] "1" "1"

[[2]]
[1] "2" "2"

[[3]]
[1] "3" "3"

[[4]]
[1] "4" "4"

Now how do I convert all elements of z to an interger.. (currently t, it is of
type character)
I believe sapply is the correct function, but don't know what the syntax is.

Thanks
Shank

Try this:

lapply(z, as.numeric)
