Hi, As show in the code below, strsplit can be applied to a matrix but not a data.frame. I don't understand why R is designed in this way. Can somebody help me understand it? How to split all the strings in x$y?
x=data.frame(x=1:10,y=rep("abc",10)) strsplit(x$y,'b') #Error in strsplit(x$y, "b") : non-character argument y=cbind(1:10,rep("abc",10)) strsplit(y[,2],'b') Regards, Peng ______________________________________________ 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.
