Hi Rui the splitting code worked fine. Thanks for your help. Now I realized that the code cannot handle a table with levels that by chance (or systematically) repeatedly appear after each other. For instance this may happen if I need to extract the final two pairs of the table XXX below: electrode4+electrode1 and electrode1+electrode3.
lens <- rle(as.character(XXX$electrode))$lengths will return 3 2 3 2 6 6 3 and not 3 2 3 2 6 3 3 3 because it counts electrode1 double. split(XXX, idx) will produce 3 incorrect outputs instead of the required 4. This will also occur if I have systematic combinations 1-4 after each other for instance in a new table “XX” below where electrode4 appears twice. Is there a way to make splitting "half-way" between two of the same levels possible by predefining the length of each individual level? This would make the splitting code more robust. Thanks for advice. This is the table "XXX" electrode length electrode1 5.7 electrode1 6.3 electrode1 6.2 electrode2 11.4 electrode2 9.7 electrode3 14.2 electrode3 14.8 electrode3 12.6 electrode2 11.4 electrode2 9.7 electrode4 17.0 electrode4 16.3 electrode4 17.8 electrode4 18.3 electrode4 16.9 electrode4 18.5 electrode1 5.7 electrode1 6.3 electrode1 6.2 electrode1 5.7 electrode1 6.3 electrode1 6.2 electrode3 14.2 electrode3 14.8 electrode3 12.6 This is a simplified table XX electrode1 electrode2 electrode1 electrode3 electrode1 electrode4 electrode2 electrode1 electrode2 electrode3 electrode2 electrode4 electrode3 electrode1 electrode3 electrode2 electrode3 electrode4 electrode4 electrode1 electrode4 electrode2 electrode4 electrode3 > Gesendet: Dienstag, 23.
