Dear Bill,
If you're not bound to gsub(), you could simply take substring() as follows:
string <- "LTA4H||Leukotriene A4 hydrolase"
substring(string, 1,5)
This one works quite well and it could also be complemented with nchar() to
"cut" strings with different lengths
like substring(string, 1,
Hi. Rui already gave you a solution.
Beside that you can, also, use substr function in this concrete example:
substr("LTA4H||Leukotriene A4 hydrolase", 1, 5)
This can be adjusted to rest of your data also, but you haven't provided
enough information.

Hello,
Try
txt <- "LTA4H||Leukotriene A4 hydrolase"
pattern <- "\\|\\|.*$"
gsub(pattern, "", txt)
Hope this helps,
Rui Barradas

Hi. You can do something like this:
gsub("\\|\\|Leukotriene A4 hydrolase","","LTA4H||Leukotriene A4 hydrolase")

Dear all,
Does any one know how to remove part of the string?
For example, "LTA4H||Leukotriene A4 hydrolase" is a gene name plus gene
description. I hope to remove "||Leukotriene A4 hydrolase". What would be the R
code to do that using gsub()? Many thanks!
Bill
