Suppose I have a file with the the following structure - call the two
space-separated fields 'label' and 'count':
ABC 3
DDG 5
ABB 2
What I need to do is parse each line of the file, and then depending on
the value of count, write out the value of 'label' to a new file, but
'count' times. In other words, take the preceding, and output
ABC
ABC
ABC
DDG
DDG
DDG
DDG
DDG
ABB
ABB
I was wondering if there was an elegant/simple way to do this? I can do
this relatively easily in perl, or awk, but am stumped by getting a bit
of R code to accomplish the same thing.
Many thanks in advance...
