Re: [R] size limit of string/parse a string and convert to vector

try this: > x <- "|1,ab,2.34|2,cd,3.44|" > # split by the "|" and remove vectors of zero characters > x.sp <- strsplit(x, '|', fixed = TRUE)[[1]] > x.sp <- x.sp[nchar(x.sp) > 0] > # now split by comma > x.comma <- strsplit(x.sp, ',') > # you can now access you data > x.comma [[1]] [1] "1""ab"
