Hello, I am wondering about the behaviour of strsplit. When the pattern matches the beginning of the search string, the mepty string is added to the result, but that's not the case when the pattern matches the end of the search string: strsplit(" hello dolly ") [1] "" "hello" "dolly" The man for strsplit explains the algorithm: " The algorithm

It appears that there is a limit on the length of strings included with, e.g., the format '%d' beyond which surprising things happen (output modified for conciseness):

Inspired by the exchange between Rolf Turner and Wacek Kusnierczyk, I thought I'd clear up for myself the exact relationship among the various sequence concepts in R, including not only generic vectors (lists) and atomic vectors, but also pairlists, factor sequences, date/time sequences, and difftime sequences. I tabulated type of sequence vs. property to see if I could make sense of all

the following is a trivialized version of some functional code i tried to use in r: (funcs = lapply(1:5, function(i) function() i)) # a list of no-parameter functions, each with its own closure environment, # each supposed to return the corresponding index when applied to no arguments sapply(funcs, function(func) func()) # supposed to return c(1,2,3,4,5) there is absolutely nothing unusual in

Dear R Gurus: How do I find the functions which are primitives, please? Thanks, Edna Bell

Hello! I have the problem that in my function the passed variable is not used, but the variable name of the dataframe itself?- difficult to explain, but an easy example: TestFunc<-function(df, group) { ??? print(names(subset(df, select=group))) } df1<-data.frame(group="G1", visit="V1", value=0.9) TestFunc(df1, c("group", "visit")) Result: [1]

Dear all, Myself Vijaykumar Muley working as senior research fellow. By training I am a computational biologist with not a strong knowledge of statistics. I have done some analysis which is explained as follows, I have 10340 (X) profiles of binary vectors with same length(N=845), I will call then "gene profiles" for example... v1 v2 v3 v4.....vN a 1 0 1 0 1 b 0

Dear all, let's assume I have a vector of character strings: x <- c("abcdef", "defabc", "qwerty") What I would like to find is the following: all elements where the word 'abc' does not appear (i.e. 3 in this case of 'x'). Since I am not really experienced with regular expressions, I started slowly and thought I find all word were

Hi all I have the following regular expression problem: I want to find complete elements of a vector that end in a repeated character but where the repetition doesn't make up the whole word. That is, for the vector vec: vec<-c("aaaa", "baaa", "bbaa", "bbba", "baamm", "aa") I would like to get "baaa" "bbaa"
