Finding the common portion of strings
Colleagues
R: 2.12.2
OS X
I have a set of text objects in the form (I am showing 3 of what is more likely to be 20 or so):
OBJECTS <- c("abcSOMETHINGCOMMONegf", "xSOMETHINGCOMMONyz", "SOMETHINGCOMMONnme")
As you can see, all contain "SOMETHINGCOMMON" and the position varies. But, I don't know what that "SOMETHINGCOMMON" is.
Is there an efficient means to find the common string of characters between all...
