Left/right hand side characters
Hello all
Is there a way reducing the number of characters in a list so that just
the left n numbers of characters is given?
For example, If I have a list, listnames, which consists of 4 strings of
6 characters;
>listnames
[1] "item12" "item34" "item56" "item78"
Is there a way to reduce this so only the 5 characters on the lefthand
side are given (similar to the LEFT function in Excel)
So that I'd get a list like this
>listnames
[1] "item1" "item3" "item5" "item7"
Than...
