带有变量的正则表达式，后面没有 R 中的任何内容

Question

Once again, I'm struggling with Regex! I need to find, in R with the grep function, an expression:

• which includes a dynamic variable (a value that changes in a loop)
• and not followed by any character (a dot or a number).

Below an example:

for (j in 1:2){
     aaa = c(0,-0.5)
     JOP = c("one.HR0","twoHR0", "oneHR0.5", "twoHR0.5") 
     print(grep(paste0("HR", abs(aaa[j]),"?!."), JOP))}

In my example, I want to get one.HR0 , twoHR0 in the first loop and so on.

But my Regex is not working! Thanks in advance :-)

Answer 1

Does this do, what you're after?

for (j in 1:2){
  aaa = c(0,-0.5)
  JOP = c("one.HR0","twoHR0", "oneHR0.5", "twoHR0.5") 
  print(grep(paste0("HR", abs(aaa[j]),"$"), JOP, value=T)) #value=T returns actual values and not only the matching indexes in JOP
  }
