Regex group capture in R with multiple capture

In R, is it possible to extract group capture from a regular expression match? As far as I can tell, none of grep , grepl , regexpr , gregexpr , sub , or gsub return the group captures.

I need to extract key-value pairs from strings that are encoded thus:

((.*?) :: (0.[0-9]+))

I can always just do multiple full-match greps, or do some outside (non-R) processing, but I was hoping I can do it all within R. Is there's a function or a package that provides such a function to do this?


str_match() , from the stringr package, will do this. It returns a character matrix with one column for each group in the match (and one for the whole match):

> s = c("(sometext :: 0.1231313213)", "(moretext :: 0.111222)")
> str_match(s, "((.*?) :: (0.[0-9]+))")
     [,1]                         [,2]       [,3]          
[1,] "(sometext :: 0.1231313213)" "sometext" "0.1231313213"
[2,] "(moretext :: 0.111222)"     "moretext" "0.111222"    

gsub does this, from your example:

gsub("((.*?) :: (0.[0-9]+))","1 2", "(sometext :: 0.1231313213)")
[1] "sometext 0.1231313213"

you need to double escape the s in the quotes then they work for the regex.

Hope this helps.


尝试regmatches()regexec()

regmatches("(sometext :: 0.1231313213)",regexec("((.*?) :: (0.[0-9]+))","(sometext :: 0.1231313213)"))
[[1]]
[1] "(sometext :: 0.1231313213)" "sometext"                   "0.1231313213"
