This is a very simple question, so I apologize I couldn't find it online:
I want to shorten the string 'apples.pears' to 'apples'.
string='apples.pears'
string1=substr(string,0,x)
For x above, I would like to have a command like charAt(string,"."), i.e.
the position of the period in the word, but I can't seem to find a charAt
command in R.
Thank you.
