Hi,
I would appreciate some help with using grep(). I have a bunch of variables in
a data frame and I would like to select some of them using grep. Here is an
example of what I am trying to do:
vars <- c("Fr_I_total", "Fr_I_percent_of_CD4", "Ki.67_in_Fr_I_percent_of_Fr_I",
"Fr_II_percent_of_CD4", "Ki.67_in_Fr_II_percent_of_Fr_II")
>From the above vector, I would like to select those variables beginning with
>`Fr' and containing `percent' in them. In other words, I would like to get
>the variables "Fr_I_percent_of_CD4" and "Fr_II_percent_of_CD4".
How can I use grep() to do this?
More generally, are there any good online resources with examples like this for
the use of grep() and regexp() in R? I didn't find the help pages for these
very user-friendly.
Thank you very much,
Ravi
