Good morning,
I would like to extract the numbers from the sample dataset 'Have'. I list the result I would like to get in the 'Want' dataset.
data Have; infile datalines delimiter='#'; input Comments : $200. ; datalines; UGESTAGE=34 5/7 WKS # UGESTAGE=35WKS # UGESTAGE=33.4 WKS # UGESTAGE= 24 WKS ; run; data Want; infile datalines delimiter='/'; input UGESTAGE ; datalines; 34 / 35 / 33 / 24 ; run;
Hello,
One way :
want=input(prxchange("s/^[^\d]*(\d+).*$/$1/",1,Comments), best.);

Somehow, I used PERI code is not working properly. I changed to use Ksharp's code, it works fine. Thanks much!
