Hello,
Please always cc the list.
To know more about the regular expressions used by r read
help("regex")
The one I used is not very complicated.
\\. match a dot; it is a meta-character so it needs to be escaped.
{2,} repeated at least 2 times, at most an undetermined number of times.
.* any character (.) repeated zero or more times (*).
$ end of string.
All together now.
"\\.{2,}.*$" matches at least 2 dots followed by anything until
the end of the string.
The replacement for this is the empty string "", so what is matched is
removed.
Hope this helps,
Rui Barradas
