Dear all, this is my first message to this mailing list - please advise if it is not the right place for the subject
I've been using R very intensively the last 3-4 years and one of the most tedious tasks is modification of lookup or conversion tables So far, I have not found functions that create the commands for creating objects (vectors, data frames) based on the objects themselves - i.e. to reverse-engineer them. Here are my suggestions: c_rev <- function(x) cat(paste0('c("', gsub(', ', '", "', toString(x)), '")\n')) df_rev <- function(x) { X <- apply(x, 1, function(x) { paste0('c(', paste0(shQuote(x), collapse = ", "), ')' ) } ) command <- paste0( 'rbind.data.frame(', paste0( X, collapse = ",\n"), ')') return(cat(command, "\n")) } Bo --- bowerth.github.io [[alternative HTML version deleted]] ______________________________________________ R-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel
