Re: [R] Parsing Complex Text in Single Cell

[arun]

Another way would be:
library(qdap)
library(stringr)
x <- scan(what="character",....)

 x1 <- c(x,x) 

x1 <- paste(x1,collapse=" ")
 x2 <- gsub('"',"",bracketXtract(x1,"curly"))
 res2 <- 
as.data.frame(str_trim(do.call(rbind,genXtract(paste0(x2,","),":",","))),stringsAsFactors=FALSE)
res2[,1:3] <- lapply(res2[,1:3],as.numeric)
colnames(res2) <- str_trim(genXtract(paste0(",",x2),",",":")[[1]])
row.names(res2) <- 1:nrow(res2)

head(res2,3)
#  trial corr resp_dur                                     stim        cond
#1     1    1      799 â†*Â*â†*Â*â†*Â*â†*Â*â†*Â*   congruent
#2     2    1        0                             xx→xx        nogo
#3     3    0       NA â†*Â*â†*Â*→â†*Â*â†*Â* incongruent

A.K.

Hello,

Maybe something like the following.


x <- scan(what = "character", text = '

*Â*","cond":"incongruent"}]')


x <- paste(x, collapse = ' ')
x <- gsub('"', '', x)
x <- gsub('\\]', '', x)

y <- unlist(strsplit(x, "\\{"))
y <- sub("\\}", "", y)
y <- y[y != ""]
y <- strsplit(y, ",")

fun <- function(x){
    y <- strsplit(x, ":")
    z <- lapply(y, '[[', 2)
    z[1:3] <- lapply(z[1:3], as.numeric)
    z <- as.data.frame(t(unlist(z)))
    z
}

res <- do.call(rbind, lapply(y, fun))
names(res) <- lapply(strsplit(y[[1]], ":"), '[[', 1)
res


Note that the two warnings are ok, they are due to the two values 'null' 
in your data, that are coerced to NA.

Hope this helps,
