I doubt it. stringr manipulates strings, you also want to reshape the data. You can do dat <- read.table(text = ' X Y ab "su - di" ac "pi - tu" ad "tu - tu"', header=TRUE) library(stringr) with(dat, data.frame(X=rep(X, each=2), Y=unlist(strsplit(Y, split=" - ")))) but 'with', 'rep', 'data.frame' and 'unlist' are all in the base package, not stringr.
