[R] gsub with regular expression

[Allan Engelhardt]

help("strsplit") is your friend, for example:

t <- c("2008/12/31 12:23:31 numero 343.233.233 Rodeo Vaca Ruido",
        "2010/02/01 02:35:31 palabra 111.111.222 abejorro Rodeo Vaca")
m <- do.call(rbind, strsplit(t, "[[:space:]]+"))  #  Matrix of all the data
v <- paste(m[, 1], m[, 2])  #  The vector
m <- m[,-c(1,2)]  #  The matrix

Hope this helps a little.
