I am trying to find 3 or more consecutive "a" within the last 10 letters of my data frame string. My data frame looks like this:
V1
aaashkjnlkdjfoin
jbfkjdnsnkjaaaas
djshbdkjaaabdfkj
jbdfkjaaajbfjna
ndjksnsjksdnakns
aaaandfjhsnsjna
I have written this code, however it just gets out the number of consecutive "a" within the whole string. However, I am wanting to do it so it only looks at the last 10 digits and then prints the string where the consecutive "a" are found. The code I have wrote is:
out: [1] 3
I am wanting my output to look like this:
jbfkjdnsnkjaaaas
djshbdkjaaabdfkj
jbdfkjaaajbfjna
Can anyone help
Using regex, you could do:
grep("(?=.{10}$).*?a{3,}", string, perl = TRUE, value = TRUE)
[1] "jbfkjdnsnkjaaaas" "djshbdkjaaabdfkj" "jbdfkjaaajbfjna"
string <- c("aaashkjnlkdjfoin", "jbfkjdnsnkjaaaas", "djshbdkjaaabdfkj",
"jbdfkjaaajbfjna", "ndjksnsjksdnakns", "aaaandfjhsnsjna")
If you have a dataframe and need tosubset it:
subset(df, grepl("(?=.{10}$).*?a{3}",V1, perl = TRUE))
V1
2 jbfkjdnsnkjaaaas
3 djshbdkjaaabdfkj
4 jbdfkjaaajbfjna
