Is this what you want (using regular expressions):
x - ENSG /// ENSGy /// ENSG
sub(^([[:alpha:]]+).*, \\1 file://0.0.0.1/, x)
[1] ENSG

Hi !
From an Ensembl annotation like ENSG /// ENSGy /// ENSG, I am
trying to keep only the first part: ENSG. I wasn't able to find any
helpful information about how to do it. Could you help me with that please ?
Is the use of the equivalent to the Excel * (any text) a good way of doing
it and how ?
Your help will be very much appreciated.
