Suppose I have a vector of strings: c("A1B2","A3C4","B5","C6A7B8") [1] "A1B2" "A3C4" "B5" "C6A7B8" where each string is a sequence of <column><value> pairs (fixed width, in this example both value and name are 1 character, in reality the column name is 6 chars and value is 2 digits). I need to convert it to a data frame: data.frame(A=c(1,3,0,7),B=c(2,0,5,8),C=c(0,4,0,6)) A B C 1 1 2 0 2 3 0 4 3 0 5 0 4 7 8 6
how do I do that? thanks. -- Sam Steingold (http://sds.podval.org/) on Ubuntu 11.10 (oneiric) X 11.0.11004000 http://mideasttruth.com http://jihadwatch.org http://pmw.org.il http://openvotingconsortium.org http://iris.org.il http://memri.org What's the difference between Apathy & Ignorance? -I don't know and don't care! ______________________________________________ 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.
