[R] help to slip a file name using "strsplit" function

[Robert Baer]

How about:
unlist(strsplit(as.character("Myfile_MyArea1_sample1.txt"), split = 
'[[:punct:]]'))

Dear Researchers,

I have several files as this example: Myfile_MyArea1_sample1.txt

i wish to split in "Myfile", "MyArea1", "sample1", and "txt", becasue i
need to use "sample1" label. I try to use "strsplit" but I am able just to
split as "Myfile_MyArea1_sample1" and "txt" OR "Myfile", "MyArea1",
"sample1.txt" using


strsplit(as.character("Myfile_MyArea1_sample1.txt"), ".", fixed = TRUE)
strsplit(as.character("Myfile_MyArea1_sample1.txt"), "_", fixed = TRUE)

Thanks in advance

Gianni
