Extracting the Last Digits of Strings using Regular Expressions in R and Perl
Extracting the Last Digits of Strings using Regular Expressions Regular expressions (regex) are a powerful tool for searching and manipulating patterns in strings. One common use case is extracting specific parts of a string, such as the last digits. In this article, we’ll explore how to achieve this using regex. Introduction to Regular Expressions Before diving into the code, let’s quickly cover the basics of regular expressions. A regex pattern is made up of two main components: characters and metasyntactic structures.
