Hello all, I have a .csv file like below. Tool,Step_Number,Data1,Data2... etc up to 100 columns. A,1,0,1 A,2,3,1 A,3,2,1 . . B,1,3,2 B,2,1,2 B,3,3,2 . . ...... so on upto 50 rows where the column "*Tool*" has distinct steps in second column "*Step_Number*",but both have same entries in Step_Number column. I want the output like below.
Tool_1,Data1_1,Data2_1,Tool_2,Data1_2,Data2_2,Tool_3,Data1_3,Data2_3... so on A,0,1,A,3,1,A,2,1 B,3,2,B,1,2,B,3,2 ...... so on. basically I am transposing entire data based on a specific column row values and renaming the column headers. I have a shell script based on awk which can do this task, but the script is taking exceptionally higher processing time. So I am looking for a script in R which can save the time.
