[R] deleting the first two characters in each row of a factorized column

[Ivan Calandra]

Hi,

I'm not sure it's the best solution, but I think this should do:
levels(small_factor) <- gsub("d_", "", levels(small_factor))
small_factor
[1] variable1 variable2 variable3
Levels: variable1 variable2 variable3

HTH,
Ivan
