Hello Experts: I have this log file that has about 1200 characters (max) on a line. What I want to do is read this first and then extract certain portions of the file into new columns. I want to extract rows that contain the text “[DF_API: input string]”. When I read it and then filter based on the rows that I am interested, it almost seems like I am losing data. I tried this using the dplyr filter and using standard grep with the same result.
Not sure why this is the case. Appreciate your help with this. The code and the data is there at the following link. Satish Code is given below library(dplyr) setwd("C:/Users/satis/Documents/VF/df_issue_dec01") sec1 <- read.delim(file="secondary1_aa_small.log") head(sec1) names(sec1) <- c("V1") sec1_test <- filter(sec1,str_detect(V1,"DF_API: input string")==TRUE) head(sec1_test) sec1_test2 = sec1[grep("DF_API: input string",sec1$V1, perl = TRUE),] head(sec1_test2) write.csv(sec1_test, file = "test_out.txt", row.names = F, quote = F) write.csv(sec1_test2, file = "test2_out.txt", row.names = F, quote = F) Data (and code) is given at the link below. Sorry, I should have used dput. https://spaces.hightail.com/space/arJlYkgIev Satish Vadlamani [[alternative HTML version deleted]] ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list -- To UNSUBSCRIBE and more, see 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.
