Hello,
Banging my head against a wall here ... can anyone light the way to a 
pattern modification that would make the following TRUE?
identical(
  grep(
    "^Intensity\\s[^HL]",
    c("Intensity","Intensity L", "Intensity H", "Intensity Rep1")),
  as.integer(c(1,4)))
Thank you for your time.
Sincerely, Joh
