Extract last word in string in R
r
Solution
tail(strsplit('this is a sentence',split=" ")[[1]],1)
Basically as suggested by @Señor O.
Problem
What's the most elegant way to extract the last word in a sentence string? The sentence does not end with a "." Words are seperated by blanks. ``` sentence <- "The quick brown fox" TheFunction(sentence) ``` should return: "fox" I do not want to use a package if a simple solution is possible. If a simple solution based on package exists, that is also fine.
