Hi,
Here is a somewhat detailed explanation of what I want to achieve:
I have a data frame:
id url
urlType
1 1 www.yahoo.com 1
2 2 www.google.com/?search= 2
3 3 www.google.com 1
4 4 www.yahoo.com/?query= 2
5 5 www.gmail.com 1
I want to get all the URLs that are not of type `1` and satisfy the
condition defined by the following function:
checkBaseLine <- function(s){
for (listItem in WHITELIST){
if(regexpr(as.character(listItem), s)[1] > -1){
return(TRUE)
}
}
return(FALSE)
}
Here is the definition for WHITELIST:-
WHITELIST = "[?]query=, [?]search="
WHITELIST <- unlist(trim(strsplit(trim(WHITELIST), ",")))
Now, for the given data frame I want to apply the above function for
all row values for a given column:-
That is:
It works fine when I define a condition like:
data <- data[data$urlType != 1,]
However, I want to combine two logical conditions together like:
data <- data[data$urlType != 1 & checkBaseLine(data$url),]
This would check whether the column `urlType` contains row values that !=
1, and the column `url` contains row values that satisfy the function
definition.
Any ideas how this can be done?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Harsh Yadav
