[R] gregexpr() - length of the matched text to a vector

[Petri Palmu]

Hi,

I'm using gregexpr(). As a result something like this:

# starting positions of the match:
[[1]]
[1] 7 18

# length of the matched text:
attr(,"match.length")
[1] 4 4

Now, I'd like to have a matrix,
  7    4
18   4

but I don't know how to handle the attr(,"match.length") ...?
The format of the output is pretty unclear to me in that respect.

Thanks in advance,
Petri
