[R] extract data from a column

[Sam Albers]

If I understand what you want (which I may very well not) you could use
something like this:

If this is an example of your type of data:
564589,+

substr(x, 1, 6)
as.numeric(x)

Please try to post something more thorough if you would like a better
answer.

Sam
