I decided to make a blog post out of a problem I worked on a day or two ago and thankfully I was also pointed to another solution from @embiggenData which worked well too.

Some one just reached out looking to extract values from a cell that are produced by #glue from the #tidyverse

Example a cell value like 251 (13%) they just want the 251, so I did something like this:

library(tidyverse)
tibble(
value = glue::glue("{11:20} ({1:10}%)"),
reged_val = str_extract(value, "\d+(?=\W|$)") |>
as.numeric()
)

A tibble: 10 × 2

value reged_val
<glue> <dbl>
1 11 (1%) 11

Thoughts?
