Hello,

Try the following.


tmp <- strsplit(as.character(my_dat$instrument), "_")
tmp <- t(as.data.frame(tmp))
tmp <- data.frame(instrument = tmp[,1], sr_no = as.integer(tmp[, 2]), my_dat$mtm_value)
result <- tmp[order(tmp[, 1], tmp[, 2]), ]
rm(tmp)
rownames(result) <- NULL
result


Hope this helps,

Rui Barradas

Dear R forum

I have a data (actually its a big data and I am only giving part of my 
interest) as

my_dat = data.frame(instrument = c("EQ_0", "EQ_1", "EQ_10", "EQ_100", "EQ_2", "EQ_20", "IRS_0", "IRS_1", 
"IRS_10", "IRS_100", "IRS_2", "IRS_20"), mtm_value = c(23, 63, 8, 44, 68, 11, 83, 56, 73, 92, 14, 7))

my_dat
instrument mtm_value
1        EQ_0     23
2        EQ_1     63
3       EQ_10    8
4      EQ_100   44
5        EQ_2     68
6       EQ_20    11
7       IRS_0    83
8       IRS_1    56
9      IRS_10   73
10    IRS_100        92
11      IRS_2   14
12     IRS_20   7

I need to split the first column and arrange the output in the ascending order 
as shown below :

   instrument sr_no   mtm_value

1          EQ          0      23
2          EQ          1      63
3          EQ          2      68
4          EQ         10       8
5          EQ         20      11
6          EQ        100      44
7         IRS         0      83
8         IRS         1      56
9         IRS         2      14
10        IRS       10      73
11        IRS       20       7
12        IRS      100      92

I tried to use gsub, strsplit  but doesn't give me the required output.

Kindly guide

Regards

Amelia
