Excuse me, here is the vector:

TV_Precios2 <- c("S/. 2,499.00S/. 1,999.00", "S/. 2,299.00  S/.
1,599.00", "S/. 2,299.00  S/. 1,599.00",
"S 40\" FULL HD 40LF6350S/. 1,999.00S/. 1,699.00", "S/. 5,999.00S/. 4,799.00",
"S/. 3,499.00S/. 2,999.00", "S/. 4,799.00S/. 3,699.00", "S/. 599.00",
"S/. 1,299.00", "S/. 999.00  S/. 799.00", "S/. 1,999.00  S/. 1,699.00",
"S/. 999.00  S/. 849.00", "S/. 499.00  S/. 439.00", "S610S/. 1,899.00",
"S/. 1,799.00S/. 1,699.00", "S/. 2,299.00S/. 1,699.00", "S/.

Hi R users, I have a character vector with 2 numbers: old price, new
price. The problem is that some rows (4,23, for example) contain a
little description of the product, which I don't need.

I've tried a lot of thins, like this one:

TV_Precios3 <- gsub("^S ^[0-9]{2}\\$","",TV_Precios2)

Without result. Any help is welcome.

After that I want to separate them with colsplit (have this solved)
based on "S/.".



head(TV_Precios3,50)
