[R] 'Split' character

[jim holtman]

Here is one way:

> a<-1:10
> b<-21:30
> mydata<-data.frame(a,b)
> mydata.split<-split(mydata,(mydata[,1:2]),drop=TRUE)
> x <- mydata.split
> # customize the names
> names(x) <- sapply(strsplit(names(x), "\\."), paste, collapse="-my character-")
> x
$`1-my character-21`
  a  b
1 1 21

$`2-my character-22`
  a  b
2 2 22

$`3-my character-23`
  a  b
3 3 23
...........
