Hi, I am using colsplit (package = reshape) to split all strings in a column according to the same patterns. Here an example:
library(reshape2) df1 <- data.frame(x=c("str1_name2", "str3_name5")) df2 <- data.frame(df1, colsplit(df1$x, pattern = "_", names=c("str","name"))) This is nearly what I want but I want to remove the words "str" and "name" from the values, because the columns are already named with that words. Is there a way to remove them using colsplit? Or any other simple way? /johannes ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
