strsplit by spaces greater than one in R -

given string,

mystr = "average student score       88"

i wish split if there more 1 space. wish obtain following:

"average student score" "88"

i searched "\s+" split number of spaces.

strsplit(mystr, "\\s+")

but not want. there option within strsplit can split strings based on number of spaces (say space = k) or rule on spaces (say space > 1)?

you may specify through repetition quantifier.

strsplit(mystr, "\\s{2,}")

\\s{2,} regex should match 2 or more spaces.
