[R] gsub

[Jean Eid]

Hi

A while back I used gsub to do the following

temp<-"000US00231"
gsub("something here", "", temp)
"00231"

I think it involved the `meta characters' somehow.

I do not know how to do this anymore. I know strsplit will also work but I
remember gsub was much faster.  In essence the question is how to delete
all characters before a particular pattern.

If anyone has some help file for this, it will be greatly appreciated.
