Hi, I have a function f <- function(..., func){ something }, where func is a function of the form function(...). ?I would like to pass func all the arguments passed to f except the last. ?I know that I can manipulate the variable number of arguments passed to f by converting ... to a list, i.e., arglist <- list(...). ?But how do I pass func the first n-1 list items of arglist (n <-

I have an array with names which contain multibyte characters. ?When I try to write the array to a file using write.table and row.names = T I receive an error message when the first such name is encountered, saying that I have not specified the option to generate NA instead. ?I really would be satisfied if the row name in the file were exactly what is displayed when I print the array on the

Are there packages that allow improved String and URL processing? E.g. extract parts of a URLs such as sub-domains, top-level domain, protocols (e.g. https, http, ftp), file type based on endings, check if a URL is valid or not, etc... I am currently only using split and paste. Are there better and more efficient ways to handle strings e.g. finding sub-strings or to do pattern matching? What

I have had some comments on sqldf regarding its dependence on tcltk such as the second last sentence on this blog post: http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=zh-CN&u=http://www.wentrue.net/blog/%3Fp%3D453&prev=http://blogsearch.google.com/blogsearch%3Fhl%3Den%26ie%3DUTF-8%26q%3Dsqldf%26lr%3D%26sa%3DN%26start%3D10 sqldf does not directly use tcltk but it does use strapply in

Hello, I just don't get this and would appreciate if someone could write a line or two: I'm trying to build this package and it stops installing after I add the following to the NAMESPACES file: >importFrom(gsubfn,strapply) The error during the package test is: Error in MyPackage::MyFunction : package 'MyPackage' has no name space and is not on the search path Calls:

Hi all, is there any function to find some words in a character-string? For example suppose the string is : "gdfsa-sdhchc-88", now I want to find whether this string contains "sdhch". Is there any R function to do that? Regards, -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Searching-within-a-ch.-string-tp23484010p23484010.html Sent from the R help mailing list

Dear all, Lets say I have the following: > x <- c("Eve: Going to try something new today...", "Adam: Hey @Eve, how are you finding R? #rstats", "Eve: @Adam, It's awesome, so much better at statistics that #Excel ever was! @Cain & @Able disagree though :(", "Adam: @Eve I'm sure they'll sort it out :)", "blahblah") > x [1]

I have a matching problem that I cant solve. mystring = "xxx{XX}yy{YYY}zzz{Z}" where "x","X","y","Y","z","Z" basiclly can be anything, letters, digits etc. I'm only interested in the content within each "{}". I am close but not really there yet. library(gsubfn) strapply(mystring,"\\{[^\\}]+",, perl=F)

Hi, I am getting stuck over an apparently simple problem in the use of regular expressions : To collect together the first letters of the words from the Perl motto, ?There is more than one way to do it? in the following form ? TIMTOWTDI. I tried the following code : ? ##### A regex problem with the Perl motto astr<-"There is more than one way to do it" b1<-grep("\\<",

Hi all, I'm trying to write a function that will search and extract from a long character string, but with a twist: I want to use the characters before and the characters after what I want to extract as reference points. For example, say I'm working with data entries that looks like this: Drink=Coffee:Location=Office:Time=Morning:Market=Flat

\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" " "

Greetings, I am not familiar with processing text in R. Can someone tell me how to read each line of words as separate elements in a list? FE, I would like to turn: word1 word2 word3 word2 word4 into a list of length two with three character elements in the first list and two elements in the second. I know that this should be easy, but I am a little confused by the text functions. Thanks in

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))

Hi, I'm running out of the *numbered* backreferences \\1, \\2, ..., \\9 for gsub(). Does R support *named* backreferences, and if so, what is the syntax? Thanks Henrik

Dear list, I have the following text to parse (originating from readLines as some lines have unequal size), st = c("START text1 1 text2 2.3", "whatever intermediate text", "START text1 23.4 text2 3.1415") from which I'd like to extract the lines starting with "START", and group the subsequent fields in a data.frame in this format: text1 text2

Dear List, I have an ascii text file with data I'd like to extract. Example: Year Built: 1873 Gross Building Area: 578 sq ft Total Rooms: 6 Living Area: 578 sq ft There is a lot of data I'd like to ignore in each record, so I'm hoping there is a way to use strings as delimiters to get the data I want (e.g. tell R to take data between "Built:" and "Gross" -
