Hi All, I have a 1000x1000000 matrix. The calculation I would like to do is actually very simple: for each row, calculate the frequency of a given pattern. For example, a toy dataset is as follows. Col1 Col2 Col3 Col4 01 02 02 00 => Freq of ?02? is 0.5 02 02 02 01 => Freq of ?02? is 0.75 00 02 01 01 ? My code is quite simple as the following to find the pattern ?02?.

Hi, In perl, to get a substring matching a particular pattern can be implemented like the following example: $x = "AAAA.txt"; if ($x=~ /(.*?)\.txt/){ $prefix = $1; } So how to do the same thing in R? Can someone provide me the code sample? Thanks much in advance. -- Waverley @ Palo Alto
