使用gsub函数清除R中数据框中的列

Question

I have a column showing total assets of some people in Rs 3,94,24,827 ~ 3 Crore+ this format. I want this column to show only numeric data ie 39400000 for the above value and same for every row. How to do this in R.

Answer 1

What if you try something like

text=“Rs 3,94,24,827 ~ 3 Crore+”
gsub(“\\D”,””,gsub(“,[2].+”,”00000”,text))
[1] “39400000”

To obtain the number alone;

gsub(“(~.*)|\\D”,””,text)
[1]”39424827”
