[R] Numbers in a string

[Nick Sabbe]

Hi Felipe,

gsub("[^0123456789]", "", "AB15E9SDF654VKBN?dvb.65")
results in "15965465".
Would that be what you are looking for?

If your OS is Linux, you might want to look at sed or gawk. They are very
good and efficient for such tasks.
You need it once or as a part of program? 
Some samples would be helpful...
Rgds,
