Hello, A base R solution with strsplit, like in your code. F1$Y1 <- +grepl("_", F1$text) tmp <- strsplit(as.character(F1$text), "_") tmp <- lapply(tmp, function(x) if(length(x) == 1) c(x, ".") else x) tmp <- do.call(rbind, tmp) colnames(tmp) <- c("X1", "X2") F1 <- cbind(F1[-3], tmp) # remove the original column rm(tmp) F1 # ID1 ID2 Y1 X1 X2 #1 A1 B1 0 NONE . #2 A1 B1 1 cf 12 #3 A1 B1 0 NONE . #4 A2 B2 1 X2 25 #5 A2 B3 1 fd 15 Note that cbind dispatches on F1, an object of class "data.frame". Therefore it's the method cbind.data.frame that is called and the result is also a df, though tmp is a "matrix". Hope this helps, Rui Barradas ?s 20:07 de 22/09/20, Rui Barradas escreveu:> Hello, > > Something like this? > > > F1$Y1 <- +grepl("_", F1$text) > F1 <- F1[c(1, 2, 4, 3)] > F1 <- tidyr::separate(F1, text, into = c("X1", "X2"), sep = "_", fill = > "right") > F1 > > > Hope this helps, > > Rui Barradas > > ?s 19:55 de 22/09/20, Val escreveu: >> HI All, >> >> I am trying to create?? new columns based on another column string >> content.

To be clear, I think Rui's solution is perfectly fine and probably better than what I offer below. But just for fun, I wanted to do it without the lapply(). Here is one way.

Thank you all for the help! LMH, Yes I would like to see the alternative. I am using this for a large data set and if the alternative is more efficient than this then I would be happy.

Another way to make columns out of the stuff before and after the underscore, with NAs if there is no underscore, is utils::strcapture("([^_]*)_(.*)", F1$text, proto=data.frame(Before_=character(), After_=character())) -Bill On Tue, Sep 22, 2020 at 4:25 PM Bert Gunter <bgunter.4567 at gmail.com> wrote:> To be clear, I think Rui's solution is perfectly fine and probably better > than what I offer below.
