Greetings! For some reason I am not managing to work out how to do this (in principle) simple task!
As a result of applying strsplit() to a vector of character strings, I have a long list L (N elements), where each element is a vector of two character strings, like: L[1] = c("A1","B1") L[2] = c("A2","B2") L[3] = c("A3","B3") [etc.] >From L, I wish to obtain (as directly as possible, e.g. avoiding a loop) two vectors each of length N where one contains the strings that are first in the pair, and the other contains the strings which are second, i.e. from L (as above) I would want to extract: V1 = c("A1","A2","A3",...) V2 = c("B1","B2","B3",...) Suggestions? With thanks, Ted. ------------------------------------------------- E-Mail: (Ted Harding) <ted.hard...@wlandres.net> Date: 25-Apr-2013 Time: 11:16:46 This message was sent by XFMail ______________________________________________ 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.
