r - Returning non-alphanumeric characters found by REGEX -


i have no problem finding , returning words containing non-alphanumeric characters, i'd return non-alphanumeric character found. example:

a <- c("hello?", "goodbye","hi!") grep("[^[:alnum:]]", a, value=true)

returns:

[1] "hello?" "hi!"

but i'd return is:

[1] "?" "!"

any thoughts? thanks!

edit: love this...two user responses, 4 different ways done. i've learned lot. thank you!

we can use gsub remove alphanumeric characters matching pattern ([^[:punct:]]+ - meaning 1 or more non punctuation characters) , replace blanks (""). remove blanks either nzchar or setdiff.

setdiff(gsub("[^[:punct:]]+", "", a), "") #[1] "?" "!"

or option str_extract stringr

library(stringr) as.vector(na.omit(str_extract(a, "[[:punct:]]+"))) #[1] "?" "!"

unity3d - Rotate an object to face an opposite direction -

i have object , b. when click on object b, rotates object b (a faces b). b doesn't face a. need following : when faces b, need face opposite direction. have code rotating @ b. how rotate face opposite direction after that? vector3 targetdirection = target - transform.position; float step = speed * time.deltatime; vector3 newdirection = vector3.rotatetowards (turretdome.transform.forward, targetdirection, step, 0.0f); turretdome.transform.rotation = quaternion.lookrotation (newdirection); you object facing object b, want inverse direction of object after that? objecta.transform.rotation = quaternion.inverse(objecta.transform.rotation) but lets assume example turretdome object a, (negate direction): turretdome.transform.rotation = quaternion.lookrotation (-newdirection); naturally, both of these snippets not show how smoothen rotation, seem know how use time.deltatime. just incase unsure, quaternion.lerp this

angular - Is it possible to get native element for formControl? -

i've got angular2 reactive form . created formcontrol s , assigned input fields by [formcontrol]=... . understand creates nativeelement <-> formcontrol link. my question: possible nativeelement formcontrol ? wanna myformcontrol.nativeelement.focus() i can share 1 terrible solution works me. in reactive forms can use either 1) formcontroldirective ts mycontrol = new formcontrol('') template <input type="text" [formcontrol]="mycontrol"> or 2) formcontrolname ts myform: formgroup; constructor(private fb: formbuilder) {} ngoninit() { this.myform = this.fb.group({ foo: '' }); } template <form [formgroup]="myform"> <input type="text" formcontrolname="foo"> </form> so these directives write patch like 1) formcontroldirective const originformcontrolngonchanges = formcontroldirective.prototype.ngonchanges; formcontroldirective.proto
