similar to: need help with strsplit function

Hi all, Does anyone have a version of strsplit that keeps the string that is split by. e.g. from x <- "A: 123 B: 456 C: 678" I'd like to get c("A:", "123 ", "B: ", "456 ", "C: ", 678) but strsplit(x, "[A-Z]+:") gives me c("", " 123 ", " 456 ", " 678") Any ideas? Thanks,

Hi there, I have a problem about lapply, strsplit, and accessing list elements, which I don't understand or cannot solve: I have e.g. a character vector with three elements: x = c("349/077,349/074,349/100,349/117", "340/384.2,340/513,367/139,455/128,D13/168", "600/437,128/903,128/904") The task I want to perform, is to generate a list,

\b is word boundary. But, unexpectedly, strsplit("dia ma", "\\b") splits character by character. > strsplit("dia ma", "\\b") [[1]] [1] "d" "i" "a" " " "m" "a" > strsplit("dia ma", "\\b", perl=TRUE) [[1]] [1] "d" "i" "a" " "

Dear fellow R-help members, I hope to seek your advice on how to parse/manage a dataset with hundreds of columns. Two examples of these columns, 'cancer.problems', and 'neuro.problems' are depicted below. Essentially, I need to parse this into a useful dataset, and unfortunately, I am not familiar with perl or any such language. data <- data.frame(id=c(1:10))

Dear R People: I have the following set of data > Block[1:5] [1] "5600-5699" "6100-6199" "9700-9799" "9400-9499" "8300-8399" and I want to split at the - > strsplit(Block[1:5],"-") [[1]] [1] "5600" "5699" [[2]] [1] "6100" "6199" [[3]] [1] "9700" "9799" [[4]] [1]

Hello, Anyone knows how can I do this in a cleaner way? mynumber = 1001 as.numeric(unlist(strsplit(as.character(mynumber),""))) [1] 1 0 0 1 Thanks in advance, Gustavo

Greetings, I have a vector of values that are a word followed by a number, e.g., x = c("Apple12","HP42","Dell91"). The goal is to split this vector into two vectors such that the first vector contains just the words and the second contains just the numbers. I cannot use strsplit (or at least I do not know how) as there is no obvious separator. I can use sub to

Dear list, I'm seeking advice to extract some numeric values from a log file created by an external program. Consider the following example, input <- readLines(textConnection( "some text <ax> = 1.3770E-03 <bx> = 3.4644E-07 <ay> = 1.9412E-04 <by> = 4.8840E-08 other text <aax> = 1.3770E-03 <bbx> = 3.4644E-07

> grep("f[0-9]+=", "f1=5,f22=3,", value = T) [1] "f1=5,f22=3," How do I make the line output c("f1", "f22") instead? (Actually, c(1,22) would be even better).

Hi R, A quick question: How do we find the number of words in a string? Example: C="Have a nice day" And the number of words should be 4. any built in function or?...

Hi Everyone, I'm new to programming R and have accomplished my goal, but feel that there is probably a more efficient way of coding this. I'd appreciate any guidance that a more advanced programmer can provide. My goal -- I would like to find the length of the longest word in a string containing many words separated by spaces. How I did it -- I was able to find the length of the

Dear list, I am trying to split a string using regexp: x <- "2 Value 34 a-c 45 t" strsplit(x, "[0-9]") [[1]] [1] "" " Value " "" " a-c " "" " t" But I don't want to lose the digits (pattern), the result should be: [[1]] [1] "2" " Value " "34" " a-c "

I have a string such as fileName<-"Agg.20.20.20-all-01". All I want to do is pull the "20.20.20" and the "all" as strings. Obviously, they aren't always those values. The "20.20.20" can be "30.30.30" but it's always after the . which is next to the second g in Agg and it's always the same length. The all might not always be

Dear R People: Here is a toy example: > x <- c("2E","5W","12H") > substr(x,2,2) [1] "E" "W" "2" > Sometimes x has 3 elements, sometimes 2. I want to extract the last element, and then extract the other 1 or 2 elements. How can I do this, please? TIA, Sincerely, Erin -- Erin Hodgess Associate Professor Department of

Hi, Is there a way in R to get the string which matches the expression, where the expression is a substring of the parent string. Lets say, I have $i <- "transcript:ENST0000112334 pid:ENSP000012345" What I need is the string "pid:ENSP000012345" from $i using the query "ENSP". Appreciate your comments.

Hi All, Is there a means to extract the "10" from "23:10:34" in one pass using strsplit (or something else)? tst <- "23:10:34" For example my attempt strsplit(as.character(tst),"^[0-9]*:") gives [[1]] [1] "" "" "34" Obviously it is matching the first two instances of [0-9]. Note that there may be only one digit

I would like to split a string into words at its blanks but also to preserve all blanks. Example: c(" some words to split ") should become c(" ", "some", " ", " words", " ", "to" , " ", "split", " ") I was not able to achieve this via strsplit() . But I am not familiar with regular

strsplit() is a convenient way to get a list of items from a string when you have a regular expression for what is not an item. E.g., > strsplit("1.2, 34, 1.7e-2", split="[ ,] *") [[1]]: [1] "1.2" "34" "1.7e-2" However, sometimes is it more convenient to give a pattern for the items you do want. E.g., suppose you want to pull

Dear all, I have a data.frame with a column like the x shown below myDF<-data.frame(cbind(x=c("[[1, 0, 0], [0, 1]]", "[[1, 1, 0], [0, 1]]","[[1, 0, 0], [1, 1]]", "[[0, 0, 1], [0, 1]]"))) > myDF x 1 [[1, 0, 0], [0, 1]] 2 [[1, 1, 0], [0, 1]] 3 [[1, 0, 0], [1, 1]] 4 [[0, 0, 1], [0, 1]] As you can see my x column is composed of
