similar to: Spliting columns, strings or reg exp returning substrings

I am currently summarising a data set by collapsing data based on common identifiers in a column. I am using the 'aggregate' function to summarise numeric columns, i.e. "aggregate(dat[,3], list(dat$gene), mean)". I also wish to summarise text columns e.g. by concatenating values in a comma separated list, but the aggregate function can only return scalar values and so something

I am relatively new to R and am trying to do some basic data manipulation. Basically I have a table (csv - table 1) of data for a set of samples (rows), and a second table (table 2) of information about a subset of samples of particular interest. I want to pull out the data from table 1 for the samples in table 2, either by: * Merging the two tables based on a common identifier (SampleID - may

Full_Name: Charles Dupont Version: 2.2.0 OS: linux Submission from: (NULL) (160.129.129.136) when strsplit("", " ") returns character(0) where as strsplit("a", " ") returns "a". these return values are not constiant with each other. Charles Dupont

Hi all, (and especially hi to Tomas Kalibera who accepted my patch sent yesterday) I believe that I have found another bug, this time in the substring function. The use case that I am concerned with is when there is a single (character scalar) text/subject, and many substrings to extract. For example substring("AAAA", 1:4, 1:4) or more generally, N=1000

Hello together, I'm looking for advice on how to do some tests on strings. What I want to do is the following: (just an example, real strings/sequence are about 200-400 characters long) given set of Strings: String1 abcdefgh String2 bcdefgop use a sliding window of size x to create an vector of all subsequences of size x found in the set (order matters! ). Now create, for every string

Hi All, I'm looking for a way to get many substrings from a longer string and then stitch them together. But, since the longer string is really, really long (like 250 MB long), I don't want to do this in a loop and load and re-load the longer string many times. Does anybody have an idea? Maybe I could pass in two vectors (the first would have the starting coordinates, and the second

Hi everyone, I have a vector of strings, each string made up by different number of words. I want to get a new vector which has only the first word of each string in the first vector. I came up with this: str <- c('aaa bbb', 'cc', 'd eee aa', 'mmm o n') str1 <- rep(1, length(str)) for (i in 1:length(str)) { str1[i] <- strsplit(str, "

Update: I have observed that stringi::stri_sub is linear time complexity, and it computes the same thing as base::substring. figure https://github.com/tdhock/namedCapture-article/blob/master/figure-substring-bug.png source: https://github.com/tdhock/namedCapture-article/blob/master/figure-substring-bug.R To me this is a clear indication of a bug in substring, but again it would be nice to have

Dear R users, I have a dataframe with one character field, and I would like to create two new fields (columns) in my dataset, by spliting the existing character field into two using an existing substring. ... something that in SAS I could solve e.g. combining substr(which I am aware exist in R) and "index" for determining the position of the pattern within the string. e.g. if my

Dear mailing list, I have a big data frame and each element in the matrix has two alphabets. I want to split those alphabets into two so each element will have one alphabet and the number of my columns will be doubled . So can some one help with the code? Example of what I want is to split them. Input (three column) GG AG AG CC CC CC CC CC CC AG

Hi String<-"130.5" Df<-Strsplit(".",":",String) Then Df get "" "" "" "" But I want Df should contains Df "130" "5" If any body knows how to do it.tel me Thanks K.Ravichandra [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hi all, I have a columnn with text that has quite a few words in it. I would like to split these words in separate columns, but just first ten words in the string. Is that possible in R? Thank you, m [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Dear all: I am a new R-user and I have 2 questions about it. 1) I need to find specific sub-dataframe, and then use specific column to calculate. For example, after splitting dataframe, I find specific the sub-dataframe, such as ?A.split [1]?. But, I don?t know how to find ?time? and ?concentration? columns of ?A.split [1]?. 2) The equation used to sub-dataframe is

Hi all, Hi this is kiran I am facing a problem to split a dataframe that is.. i have a string like: "a,b,c|1,2,3|4,5,6|7,8,8" first I have to split with respect to "|" I did it with command unlist(strsplit("a,b,c|1,2,3|4,5,6|7,8,8", "\\,")) after getting that set i made it as a dataframe and it comes like a,b,c 1,2,3 4,5,6 7,8,8 now i have to

Hi there, From the vector X of integers, X = c(11999, 122000, 81997) I would like to make these two vectors: Z= c(1999, 2000, 1997) Y =c(1 , 12 , 8) That is, each entry of vector Z receives the four last digits of each entry of X, and Y receives "the rest". Any suggestions? Thanks in advance, Dimitri [[alternative HTML version deleted]]
