I have a list of data that is delimited by a / and, as long as there is an
equal number of delimiters, I can parse the data and put it into a data frame:
> t1<-c("a/a/a","b/bb/bbb","ccc/cc/c")
> t2<-strsplit(t1,"/")
> t3<-data.frame(t2)
> t3
c..a....a....a.. c..b....bb....bbb.. c..ccc....cc....c..
1 a b ccc
2 a bb cc
3 a bbb c
However, if I don't have an equal number of delimiters, this technique doesn't
work:
> l1<-c("a/a/a","b/bb/bbb","cc/c")
> l2<-strsplit(l1,"/")
> l3<-data.frame(l2)
Error in data.frame(c("a", "a", "a"), c("b", "bb", "bbb"), c("cc", "c" :
arguments imply differing number of rows: 3, 2
Is there an easy way to get this into a data frame with NA's (or something
else) where the missing data would be?
Thanks in advance.
