hi everybody,

i try to extract a part of name to a date :

like : "VGT1_VGT2_CONTR_B020030401.H0V0.MIR"   to   "20030401"

but the beginning of the files changes

i have a list of files:

[,1]                    
[1,] "VGT1_CONTR_B020020301.H0V0.MIR"                      
[2,] "VGT1_VGT2_CONTR_B020020611.H0V0.MIR"
[3,] "VGT1_VGT2_CONTR_B020030401.H0V0.MIR"
[4,] "VGT1_VGT2_CONTR_B020030711.H0V0.MIR"
[5,] "VGT1_VGT2_CONTR_B020031211.H0V0.MIR"

i try the function "get()" and "assign()" but without succeed

i know it's easy in C but in R i don't know the way


if you have an idee


thanks ,

Jonathan Charrier
