Thank to Ulrik for the hint.
However, I don't comprehend the function until now:
For example I made up an array "input":
input
kop
[1,] "w;d;e;f"
[2,] "w;d;e;f"
[3,] "w;d;e;f"
[4,] "w;d;e;f"
[5,] "w;d;e;f"
and tried to break it into four cols with commmand:
output<-separate(into,kop,into=c("a","b","c","d"),sep=";")
R returned:
Fehler in UseMethod("separate_") :
nicht anwendbare Methode für 'separate_' auf Objekt der Klasse "c('matrix',
'character')" angewendet
Could you please explain me my mistake?
Thank you in advance!
Yours, Ferri

Hi Ferri,
It sounds like the function 'separate' from the tidyr package is what you look
for,

Dear All,
I asked for support to deal with a hirarchy within a character separated list.
I solved the problem crudely but effectively by
- Choosing for a TSV as input, where in columns that may contain several (or as
well no) items the items are separated via semicolon
- adding semicolons to the first row to grant that the first row has the
maximum number of semicolons of this column
- grasping the column(x<-myarray[,y], where y is some integer value) and saving
it as a TSV (with only one column)
- importing it again, defining it semicolumn-separated, with fill option
To all those who feel pain reading this: Is there a shortcut?
Thank you in advance.
Yours, Ferri
