1、
> a <- "aaabbbcccddd"
> substr(a,1,2) ## 提取字符串a的前两个字符串
[1] "aa"
> a <- "aaabbbcccddd"
> substr(a,3,5) ## 3-5字符
[1] "abb"
> substr(a, 5,nchar(a)) ## 5-最后一个字符
[1] "bbcccddd"
> substr(a, nchar(a)-1, nchar(a)) ## 提取最后2个字符
[1] "dd"
> a <- c("abcdef", "1234567", "ABCDEFG" )
> a
[1] "abcdef" "1234567" "ABCDEFG"
> substr(a,1,3) ## 同样适用于向量
[1] "abc" "123" "ABC"
> substr(a,3,5)
[1] "cde" "345" "CDE"
> substr(a,3,nchar(a))
[1] "cdef" "34567" "CDEFG"
> substr(a, nchar(a) -2 , nchar(a))
[1] "def" "567" "EFG"
