[R] A simple string alienation question.

[Eric Berger]

Hi Sam,
This should be straightforward. But to help out the people who could give
you an answer it would be better if you could provide the information a bit
more clearly as follows:
1. send your email in plain text mode. If you use gmail, when you are
composing your email, you can click on the 3 dots in the lower right and
select 'Plain text mode'. The R-help list doesn't handle HTML.
2. We cannot see your "Fight.csv" file. Include in your email, say, the
first couple of lines of this file.
3. Also provide the sample output (or data frame) that you would like to
get from this shortened version of your input.

Best,
Eric
