Extracting text from a character string
I have a set of character strings like below:
> data3[1]
[1] "CB01_0171_03-27-2002-(Sample 26609)-(126)"
>
I am trying to extract the text 03-27-2002 and convert this into a date for the same record. I keep looking at the grep function, however I cannot quite get it to work.
grep("\d\d-\d\d-\d\d\d\d",data3[1],perl=TRUE,value=TRUE)
Any...
