No big deal, but does "," have to be escaped?
sub(",.*", "", x)

Subject: [R] How to remove all characters after comma in R
I have the following list of strings:
x <- c("foo, foo2, foo3", "bar", "qux, qux1")
what I want to do is to obtain
foo, bar qux
Namely for each element in the vector obtain only string
before the first comma.
What's the way to do it?
