Hi again,
I am struggling to extract the number part from below string :
"\"cm_ffm\":\"563.77\""
Basically, I need to extract 563.77 from above. The underlying number
can be a whole number, and there could be comma separator as well.
So far I tried below :
> library(stringr)
> str_extract("\"cm_ffm\":\"563.77\"", "[[:digit:]]+")
[1] "563"
>
However, above code is only extracting the integer part.
Could you please help how to achieve that. Thanks,
