Gregexpr - extract results with lapply Hello, I need to extract sequences of three upper case letters in a string. In other words, in this string: str <-c("ABC", "this WOUld be gOOD") The result I'm looking for is ABC WOU OOD. With gregexpr, I can get the position and length of the sequences gregexpr('[A-Z]{3}',str,perl=TRUE) [[1]] [1] 1

Hi all, The dict package provides a dictionary (hashtable) data structure much like R's built-in environment objects, but with the following differences: - The Dict class can be subclassed. - Four different hashing functions are implemented and the user can specify which to use when creating an instance. I'm sending this here as opposed to R-packages because this package will

Hi, I am looking for a way to search a file for position of some expression, from within R. My current code: sha1Pos = gregexpr("<sha1>", readChar(filename, file.info(filename)$size))[[1]] Works fine for small files, but text files I will be working with might get up to Gb range, so I was trying to accomplish the same without loading the whole file into R. I realize this is

Hi, I have a silly question regarding the usage of two commands: read.table and gregexpr： For read.table, if I read a matrix and set header = T, I found that all the dash ("-") becomes dots (".") A = read.table("Matrix.txt", sep = "\t", header = F) A[1,1] # "A-B-C-D". A = read.table("Matrix.txt", sep = "\t", header = T)

Dear list, I am trying to use gregexpr to see if entries in a dataframe have either of two possible values for a string. here's an example text<-c("fat", "rat", "cat", "dog", "log", "fish") If I just wanted to find if any one of the elements in text match the pattern "at" I would do gregexpr("\\at", text)

Hi all, Several people have noticed that gregexpr is very slow for large subject strings when perl=TRUE is specified. - https://stackoverflow.com/questions/31216299/r-faster-gregexpr-for-very-large-strings - http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/strsplit-perl-TRUE-gregexpr-perl-TRUE-very-slow-for-long-strings-td4727902.html - https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-help/2008-October/178451.html I figured out

Seth, I encountered problems installing RSQLite, R-2.7.0, on RHEL4 using Intel 10.1 icc, My sysadmin helped me track down the problem and kindly forwarded me the fix, which corrected the problem. What follows is from the sysadmin. Mark I looked at the error, looks like there is a bug in the source code. I've attached a new tarball, hopefully fixed. I added #include <sys/types.h>

Hello, I'm trying to figure out how to find the index of the second occurrence of "/" in a string (which happens to represent a date) within a data frame column. I've used the following code successfully to find the first instance of "/". dframe <- data.frame(date=c("5/14/2011", "4/7/2011")) dframe$x1 <- regexpr("/", dframe[, 1])

Hi all I have a question regarding differences in the way gregpexr works in R 2.3.0 and R 2.4.0. In R 2.3.0, this is what happens: > gregexpr(" [a-z] [a-z] ", " a b c d e f ", perl=T) [[1]] [1] 1 3 5 7 9 attr(,"match.length") [1] 5 5 5 5 5 ... while in R 2.4.0, this is what happens: > gregexpr(" [a-z] [a-z] ", " a b c d e f ", perl=T)

Hi I have a question concerning how to match word boundaries which I bet has a very simple answer, but I haven't found it with trial and error nor by searching the help archives for the terms in the subject line. The problem is this: I have a vector of two character strings. text<-c("This is a first example sentence.", "And this is a second example sentence.") If I

RDieHarder fails its regression tests on x86_64 (aka "amd64") at CRAN (using Debian), and I see the same on Ubuntu 8.10 in 64 bit. No issues on 32bit. One odd thing is that the program behaves well if run via R --no-save < tests/RDieHarder.R but NOT when started using R --slave < tests/RDieHarder.R as R CMD check does. So I tried different things related to startup

Should functions or the user be responsible for coercing an S4 object argument containing the proper object (and thus should below be considered a bug in the packages or not)? The example is with RSQLite but the same thing happens with RMySQL, and other DBI packages. > library("RSQLite") Loading required package: DBI > m <- dbDriver("SQLite") > con <-

Dear R Help, I work with the Sage project, and we are trying to improve the ability to use R through Sage. Most things work, but make check seems to cause problems on certain platforms, and now that we want to upgrade to 2.10.1 I thought we should ask for help! R builds just fine on both Mac and Linux, but some things in make check seem to break on certain Linux boxes that don't on Mac or

Hi Folks, I'm trying to extract just the backreferences from a regex. > temp = "abcd1234abcd1234" > regmatches(temp, gregexpr("(?:abcd)(1234)", temp)) [[1]] [1] "abcd1234" "abcd1234" What I would like is: [1] "1234" "1234" Note: I know I can just match 1234 here, but the actual example is complicated enough that I have to

Dear All, I have a long string and need to search for regular expressions in there. However it becomes horribly slow as the string length increases. Below is an example: when "i" increases by 5, the time spent increases by more! (my string is 11,000,000 letters long!) I also noticed that - the search time increases dramatically with the number of matches found. - the perl=T option
