r - Filter a vector of strings based on string matching

Question

asked Oct 17, 2021 in Technique[技术] by 深蓝 (71.8m points)

I have the following vector:

X <- c("mama.log", "papa.log", "mimo.png", "mentor.log")

How do I retrieve another vector that only contains elements starting with "m" and ending with ".log"?

you can use grepl with regular expression:

X[grepl("^m.*\.log", X)]
