Hi All, I have a dataset that I would like to split based on : or – ( the data file is tab delimited) for example: Ny:23-45 AC BA:88-91 DB KJ:21-13 PA And I would like the data to be splitted and the final results look like NY 23 45 AC BA 88 91 DB KJ 21 13 PA
read.table(textConnection(gsub("[-:]","\t",readLines("your.data.file.tab")))) or read.table(textConnection(chartr("-:","\t\t",readLines("your.data.file.tab")))) HTH, Chuck
I would like to have the resulting data as a data frame so each column is a variable.
