Regex - Remove numbers from alphanumeric characters in R

To remove numbers from alphanumeric characters in R using regular expressions, you can use the gsub() function along with a suitable regex pattern. Here's how you can do it:

# Sample data text <- c("abc123", "def456", "ghi789") # Remove numbers from alphanumeric characters clean_text <- gsub("\\d", "", text) # Print the cleaned text print(clean_text)

Output:

[1] "abc" "def" "ghi"

Explanation:

  • \d matches any digit (equivalent to [0-9]).
  • gsub("\\d", "", text) replaces all occurrences of digits in the text vector with an empty string, effectively removing them.
