Actually I have one more question that's somewhat related-- I'm starting out
by importing a .txt file that isn't divided into vectors and is at times
inconsistent with regards to spacing, indents, etc., so I can't rely on
those. It looks something like this:
"Drink=Coffee:Location=Office:Time=Morning:Market=Flat
Drink=Water:Location=Office:Time=Afternoon:Market=Up
Drink=Water:Location=Gym:Time=Evening:Market=Closed
Drink=Wine:Location=Restaurant:Time=LateEvening:Market=Closed
Drink=Coffee:Location=Office:Time=Morning:Market=Flat
Drink=Water:Location=Office:Time=Afternoon:Market=Up
Drink=Water:Location=Gym:Time=Evening:Market=Closed
Drink=Wine:Location=Restaurant:Time=LateEvening:Market=Closed
Drink=Coffee:Location=Office:Time=Morning:Market=Flat
Drink=Water:Location=Office:Time=Afternoon:Market=Up
Drink=Water:Location=Gym:Time=Evening:Market=Closed
Drink=Wine:Location=Restaurant:Time=LateEvening:Market=Closed"
How can I take a single string like this and divide it into twelve vectors,
like this:
FixedData
[1] "Drink=Coffee:Location=Office:Time=Morning:Market=Flat"
[2] "Drink=Water:Location=Office:Time=Afternoon:Market=Up"
[3] "Drink=Water:Location=Gym:Time=Evening:Market=Closed"
[4] "Drink=Wine:Location=Restaurant:Time=LateEvening:Market=Closed"
[5] "Drink=Coffee:Location=Office:Time=Morning:Market=Flat"
[6] "Drink=Water:Location=Office:Time=Afternoon:Market=Up"
[7] "Drink=Water:Location=Gym:Time=Evening:Market=Closed"
[8] "Drink=Wine:Location=Restaurant:Time=LateEvening:Market=Closed"
[9] "Drink=Coffee:Location=Office:Time=Morning:Market=Flat"
[10] "Drink=Water:Location=Office:Time=Afternoon:Market=Up"
[11] "Drink=Water:Location=Gym:Time=Evening:Market=Closed"
[12] "Drink=Wine:Location=Restaurant:Time=LateEvening:Market=Closed"
Thanks again for all of the help!
