[R] string split at xth position

Hi, I have a vector of strings like: c(a1b1,a2b2,a1b2) which I want to spilt into two parts like: c(a1,a2,a2) and c(b1,b2,b2). So there is always a first part with a+number and a second part with b+number. Unfortunately there is no separator I could use to directly split the vectors.. Any idea
