one way us the following:
mat <- rbind(
c("2-271", "2-367", "1-79"),
c("2-282", "2-378", "1-90"),
c("2-281", "2-377", "1-89")
)
sp <- strsplit(c(mat), "-")
mat1 <- sapply(sp, "[", 1)
mat2 <- sapply(sp, "[", 2)
dim(mat1) <- dim(mat2) <- dim(mat)
mat1
mat2
I hope it helps.
Best,

Dear all,
I am trying to split a matrix into 2 as efficiently as possible.
It is a character matrix:
1 2 3 1 "2-271" "2-367" "1-79"
2 "2-282" "2-378" "1-90"
3 "2-281" "2-377" "1-89"
I want to make 2 matrices from this, as succinctly and efficiently as
possible.
I've tried such things as sapply(matrix, strsplit, "-") and tried to go
from there, but I can't figure it out! So far I do it with a 2D for loop
which can't be efficient!
firstPartM <- matrix(ncol= dim(zzz)[2], nrow= dim(zzz)[1])
secondPartM <- matrix(ncol= dim(zzz)[2], nrow= dim(zzz)[1])
for(i in 1:dim(zzz)[1]) {
for(j in 1:dim(zzz)[2]) {
splitS <- strsplit(zzz[i,j],"-")
firstPartM[i,j] <- splitS[[1]][1]
secondPartM[i,j] <- splitS[[1]][2]
}
}
Cheers,
Jim
